Shining a Bright Light on the Performing Arts

Vision

Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE), will bring first-class cultural events featuring renowned touring musicians, dancers, actors, and entertainers to Eastside audiences. Opening in 2010, this eagerly anticipated 2,000-seat performance hall will create a center of culture on the Eastside, offering the best in music, theatre, and dance. PACE will be a state-of-the-art urban venue—one of the finest of its kind in the country—and a regional landmark. With the dedication of civic leaders, donors, volunteers, patrons, and professional staff, PACE will serve as a beacon for artistic activity throughout the region.

Mission

Performing Arts Center Eastside's mission as a premier regional center for the performing arts is to enrich cultural life with a wide diversity of live entertainment, arts, and education. PACE will stimulate the arts region-wide; attract new audiences; heighten arts awareness and education; provide a performance home for select area arts organizations; and serve as a cultural center for Eastside residents.
