**ABOUT THE PAC**

Opening our doors in 2015, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre (the PAC) is a 95,000 square foot arts and culture hub located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario, serving the Greater Niagara region. The centre features 4 separate venues under one roof as well as an outdoor performance space, and is supported by a team of 25 full-time, and 40 part-time staff and over 100 volunteers. Events showcase music, dance, theatre, film, comedy, speakers, meetings, and community gatherings, ranging from 200-800-person capacity. Built as part of a downtown revitalization and cultural renaissance plan, the PAC has become a home to local arts groups and organizations throughout the Niagara region. The PAC is also in a rich, long-term programmatic and operating partnership with Brock University.

The PAC provides a platform to share the artist’s unique voice showcasing diverse stories, history and lived experiences. We believe that healthy communities are built through arts and cultural engagement and that our individual and collective identities are shaped through the stories told. We engage audiences across the Niagara Region by showca
