A new Center for the Performing Arts in the heart of downtown Bellevue.
Welcome to Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE)!
JUST IMAGINE…
It’s 2030 and you’re walking into one of the busiest performing arts centers in Washington. It’s opening night for your favorite performer, and you’re not alone. More than 400,000 people visit this place every year. More than 350 performances take place here, from Broadway to cabaret, jazz to country music, comedy to ballet, and everything in between. It’s a home for regional arts organizations too. You also see this performing arts center's commitment to improving the lives of children of all ages with a robust calendar of education programs providing arts access to all. You leave the show feeling inspired and more connected to your community. The origin story of the center is one of perseverance and grit. And you’ve been here since the beginning and helped make it happen.
OUR MISSION
With your support, PACE will present the world’s most in-demand performers, alongside educational and entertainment experiences of quality and relevance, that match the diverse interests and passions of our Eastside Community.
Through acclaimed artistic attractions and innovative educational programming, the Center will imbue a welcoming energy and a collaborative, inclusive spirit on our community—a model for the performing arts center of the future.
We also aim to enhance the reputation of the Eastside as a regional and national destination. Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue at 106th and 10th, where more than 20 million visit annually, the Center will be situated in the busiest location in the state second to Sea-Tac International Airport. This Center will cement the Eastside as one of the nation’s most dynamic and welcoming communities, where both families and businesses thrive.
We commit to this vision with a level of integrity, care, professionalism, and prudent management that honor the extraordinary support provided by our community.
