Our Mission and History
Our Story
The Highlands Performing Arts Center has been a cornerstone of the Highlands community since 1999, when a group of dedicated partners came together to transform a historic building on Chestnut Street into a home for the arts. Over the years, the organization grew steadily, expanding its stage,
programming, and staff, and in 2022, years of fundraising and community support culminated in the opening of a brand-new, state-of-the-art venue. Today, the PAC proudly serves as Highlands' home for live performance, welcoming thousands of visitors each year across three versatile stages.
Built for the community, by the community.
Our Mission
Highlands Performing Arts Center is dedicated to enriching our communities’ cultural and artistic life through diverse world-class performances, educational programs, and community engagement. We aim to inspire creativity, foster connections, and celebrate the transformative power of the arts.
