PIAC is committed to the cultural,
educational and economic growth of the members of our communities
through support and encouragement of performing and visual
arts and artists. We hope to provide educational and
financial support for the students of District 15 and
District 211. We consider the arts as an integral part
of life-long learning and work to provide the accessibility
of public arts activities to all people. PIAC believes
in the preservation of our cultural heritage and a responsible
stewardship of community resources. We believe in the
power of the arts as a stimulant to our local economic
environment. With our advocacy for the arts, we hope to
encourage the highest aspirations in all art endeavors.

are currently looking for space, preferably in the downtown

an area for artisans to meet and be mentored by more experienced
artisans in the community and artists at large. We desire
space where we can provide educational programs for the
community as well as performance and rehearsal space.
