Mission Statement

The mission of the Foundation for the Performing Arts Center of Pacific Grove is to make the performing arts available to the community of Pacific Grove. Proceeds will be used to maintain and enhance the Performing Arts Center and to benefit the performing arts program for students.



History

Following the completion of the restoration and renovation of the Performing Arts Center in late 2004, the Pacific Grove Unified School District and Pacific Grove Rotary Club realized that a permanent non-profit group was required to continue the upkeep and improvements necessary to ensure the future and vitality of the center.

In 2005, the Foundation for the Performing Arts Center of Pacific Grove was formed as a 501c 3 non-profit and was charged with continuing the revitalization of the Center. This revitalization includes the physical attributes of the Performing Arts Center, it's presentation to Pacific Grove and the community at large, and its outreach to local and national performing artists.

In 2007, the Foundation is worked in partnership with the PGUSD and the Pacific Grove Rotary Club to help administer the funds allocated toward additional improvements by Measure D. The first step has been the installation of an electronic billboard to highlight upcoming events and shows.

Currently, the Foundation continues to assist various organizations who bring performers to the art center by providing staff as ushers, ticket sales, publicity, and programs, plus produce performances that earn funds to add to the programs in our schools along with maintaining the performing arts center.
