Your Place for Performing Arts. Live From Lower Manhattan. Now Open.
(6)

Long envisioned as a major international cultural institution in the heart of a revived Lower Manhattan, the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) is one of the final elements to be constructed as part of the World Trade Center plan and was a key aspect of the vision to rebuild after the tragedy of 9/11. PAC NYC will help to redefine Lower Manhattan as a cultural destination and serve as a tes

tament to the power of the arts to inspire and unite us. Our mission is to make connections: by cultivating bonds between artists and communities; storytelling through performances that start dialogue across arts disciplines; and with flexible, intimate spaces that invite conversation and inspire people to build relationships with one another.
