The Will Call lists will be posted on The Bridge at 5am on the day of the tour, but this list is advisory only. Tickets will remain on sale. Look for Will Call List under Quick Links. If the Will Call list is not posted, you can email ti*****@ar**********.org and staff will get an updated version up as soon as possible. If your tour is not listed on the current will call list, this means there are no sales but you still must show up for the tour.
Guests must sign up for neighborhood tours on line. We will now begin allowing walk-up purchases for neighborhood tours. This is now clearly stated on the CAC website. Notes under all neighborhood tours include this language:
- Access to building interiors featured on this tour may be subject to change, due to weekend and holiday schedules or unforeseen closures.
