PACA - Erie's Performing Artists Collective Alliance - is an uncommon non-profit. Our mission has been to create a self-sustaining and taxpaying arts and education-based public entity in our community, and we are succeeding. In six short years, your support has allowed PACA to become a unique hybrid that not only supports the entrepreneurial efforts of emerging artists and produces award-winning theatre but is also revitalizing a historic downtown property and bringing labor and tourism dollars into the heart of the city.
PACA's home, the historic Meyer building downtown, is home to 35 artist tenants, including sculptors, photographers, painters, craftsmen, and musicians of all types. In addition, our unique business model lets PACA support and produce new and experimental theatre that others can't. All of this comes together in an architecturally significant 120-year-old building on it's way to being on the National Register of Historic places. Your support has not only breathed life into one of Erie's last great original buildings, we are revitalizing this entire section of the downtown corridor.
This year alone, PACA plans a green roof project and renovations to its first floor bathrooms to allow for additional jobs and businesses to move in. On the artistic side, PACA will host a residency in November from Boston's Sandglass Theatre exploring the worldwide refugee crisis and its impact on communities like Erie.
Your donation today will allow PACA to further its mission. Please consider becoming a PACA Angel during our 2020 Annual Fund Drive. You can donate by mail with a check made payable to "PACA" or donate online by clicking the button below.
