Robert L. O'Neal Multicultural Art Center

Robert O’Neal Multicultural Art Center (ROMAC) was established in 2019 to celebrate African and African American arts, history, and culture. The ROMAC shall serve as a hub/information center for the African and African American culture, arts, and design within the City of Cincinnati by providing programs, information, and services connectivity of multicultural arts groups. A multi-use art center that makes the space available to artists and groups who may not otherwise have access to a professionally equipped and accessible facility or the cultural mainstream and maintains an annual arts activity calendar for the community.

Mission Statement

The ROMAC’s mission is to celebrate, advance, and preserve African and African American culture and achievement through the arts, history, and education while uplifting the rich diversity of artists and cultures in the region.
