OUR MISSION: To Live & Love the Arts OUR PURPOSE: The PAC is the place to be. A gathering place where all are welcome to share the arts as a passion and way of life. Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. (the PAC), a non-profit organization contracted by the Municipality of Anchorage, manages the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts facility. The Center schedules space use in the building, provides production management and technical expertise, sells tickets, and provides services for more than 240,000 patrons who enjoy the facility annually. The facility itself is owned by the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). The PAC's contract with the MOA provides approximately half of the operating revenue required to run this state of the art facility. The remaining half is raised through rentals, ticket services, and contributions from generous corporations and individuals. The PAC has a volunteer 31-member Board of Directors comprised of community leaders, and representatives from each resident company. The staff of the Center is here for you, whether you are a patron or client looking to rent the facility. One of the Center's main functions is to bring community together. As a downtown landmark the facility is not only a beautiful structure against the skyline, but also a place where people come to have life-changing experiences, every day! The Center is dedicated to providing opportunities for the community to enjoy this facility through various programs and community events.
