PACA - The Performing Arts Collective Alliance is a performing arts venue and arts and entrepreneur studio collative housed in a historic building in downtown Erie. They produce six outstanding theatrical runs each year.
PACA is an uncommon non-profit. Their mission has been to create a self-sustaining and taxpaying arts and education-based public entity in the Erie community, and they are succeeding. In six short years, thanks to community-wide support, PACA has 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 in downtown Erie, is home to 35 artist-tenants, including sculptors, photographers, painters, craftsmen, and musicians of all types.
All of this comes together in an architecturally significant 120-year-old building on its way to being on the National Register of Historic places. The massive improvements are a full-time job, and the work has not gone unnoticed. PACA was recognized with a prestigious Preservation Erie Award for their efforts.
