The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a multidisciplinary arts venue for all ages which provides events, educational programs, and art exhibitions to the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. The Carnegie facility reflects its threefold nature: within its 17,000 square foot facility are The Carnegie Galleries, crowned by a landmark Beaux Arts dome; the magnificent, newly renovated Otto M. Budig Theatre; and the newer Eva G. Farris Education center. The Carnegie is the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.

The Carnegie was established in 1972 in a former Carnegie Library which originally was constructed in 1902. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Saved from the wrecking ball by local residents during the 1970s, The Carnegie has grown from a grassroots arts alliance into a major venue in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. It is an Associate Member of the Fine Arts Fund and receives funding from the Kentucky Humanities Council, from local businesses and corporations, from individuals, and private foundation grants.

Located at 1028 Scott Boulevard, The Carnegie public library and adjoining auditorium were built in 1904 for a grand total of ,000 with funds given to the city of Covington by Andrew Carnegie.

The interior of the original library building is made up of two floors, connected by ornately carved dual winding staircases. A circular balcony and open rotunda overlook the main floor underneath an impressive amber glass dome.
