Who we are

Live Forward

The motto of PACA is "Live Forward". This seemingly simple statement is the guiding principle of whatever we do. 

It means that while the past is a reality, it isn't the dogmatic overriding force that should be in control of our present. While one can learn from mistakes, it is counterproductive to allow the past to usurp current efforts to do good work and produce positive outcomes. Problems are resolved. Successes are assimilated. Our goal at PACA is to keep the drama on the stage, not in our lives.

Living Forward means establishing the sustainability of the arts, the individuals, our community, and PACA itself.

OUR MISSION:

PACA fosters an arts community by offering affordable studio space, preserving a historic building, and supporting artists with sustainable opportunities, diverse performances, and events that enrich the community and nurture the arts for future generations.
