Welcome to The Pace Arts Alliance!

The Pace Arts Alliance (PAA) supports the visual and performing arts programs at Pace Academy by encouraging interest in the arts and raising funds for arts-related student experiences. Resources received from memberships and generous donations are distributed across the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools to augment existing offerings and fund exceptional student and faculty engagement opportunities in the visual, musical and performing arts. 

Pace Arts Alliance sponsors a broad range of student experiences including annual events, visiting artists and faculty requests. Recent highlights include:

• Lower School grade-level plays

• Lower and Middle School Studio Art trips to the High Museum

• Visiting Artist Shanti Das talking with the Upper School

• Costa Rican artist Patricia Perles visiting the Lower School

• Middle School Chorus and Strings' Mystery Dinner Theater Event during a Universal trip
