MAKE AN IMPACT
The ImPACt Education Series includes high quality and diverse dance, music, theatre, storytelling and circus programming from Canadian and international artists that complements the Ontario Pre-K to Grade 12 curriculum. The ImPACt Education Series actively engages students’ curiosity and interests, inspires and educates, while providing them with a sense of wellbeing and belonging. Despite the high cost of running these programs, a guaranteed affordable price of $10 (+HST) is offered to all students and tickets are offered at no cost for those with financial barriers. No child is left behind.
INVEST IN OUR ACCESS PROGRAMS
The PAC’s Community Access programs provide diverse and accessible entry points for the Niagara Community to engage, learn, and experience the powerful role the arts play in our lives. Supporting Access to the arts in Niagara offers an impactful opportunity to champion inclusivity by reducing financial barriers and making high-quality arts experiences accessible to all, including underserved populations. When everyone in a community has access to high-quality arts experiences, it fosters a stronger sense of belonging and connection. In Niagara, promoting arts accessibility allows individuals from all walks of life to engage in meaningful conversations, exchange cultural values, and build bridges across different communities.
LOCAL ARTS SUPPORT
Since its opening, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Center has been a vital resource for local arts groups and artists, fostering creativity, collaboration, and growth within the community. Through a range of initiatives, the PAC has played an instrumental role in nurturing the local arts ecosystem. These programs are not only essential for the sustainability of individual artists and organizations but also contribute significantly to the cultural fabric of our community.
