About

Greetings!

CAVE is located in the Middlebury neighborhood inside the historic 15 Broad St building.


Purpose

The Center for Audio/Visual Experimentation (CAVE) is a collective space for multimedia exploration and gathering in Akron, Ohio.

  • We host a wide range of shows: music, experimental multimedia, performance art, comedy, workshops, and more.
  • We provide sustainable payment to both touring and local acts.
  • We create an enjoyable experience for all attendees and artists by focusing on sound quality, community, and comfort in the space.

History

Founded in 2010 as the Rubber City Noise Center for Audio/Visual Experimentation (RCNCAVE), the CAVE has gone through several iterations over the years with the purpose remaining the same. The CAVE reopened in 2022 at the 15 Broad St. location.
