About the CCIAC: 

The mission of the Contemporary Circus and Immersive Arts Center (CCIAC) is to promote, produce and present contemporary circus and other immersive arts; embracing the unique challenge of bridging the divide between this awe-inspiring art form and American audiences with generally less exposure to this world.

Founded in 2019 by Aaron Marquise, a graduate of Montréal's École Nationale de Cirque, The vision of the CCIAC is to transform Troy, NY into a US hub for contemporary circus by producing and presenting quality performances locally, nationally, and internationally. Through indoor and outdoor programming, the CCIAC strives to educate the community on the impact that circus can have as an art form.
