CMA's Innovation Lab is an incubator for creativity and collaboration. We welcome individuals and organizations to propose ideas for using the space for workshops, sharing new ideas, and developing projects. We are especially interested in projects and programs that encourage cross-discipline collaboration, demonstrate creative problem solving, and use original approaches to technology.
The room can accommodate groups up to 50, and houses audiovisual presentation equipment, a Macintosh-based postproduction suite, and an audio recording booth. The Lab is located in the Center for Creativity, an 18,000-square-foot space in the museum that is completely dedicated to cultivating and practicing creativity.
If you or your organization would like to propose an idea for a program, event, or project that will foster innovation in Columbus, contact Jeff Sims at (614)629.0355 or via email at jeff.sims@cmaohio.org
