The Pearson Lakes Art Center's mission is "to broaden horizons through the arts." We have three main components to the center; performance, visual and education; each intertwine to fulfill the mission of the center. Our main goal for the performing arts department is to increase theatre utilization by seeking more community events, more regional artists and more educational events related to the performances taking place. The Pearson Lakes Art Center is a private non-profit organization receiving no operating monies from municipalities. It is funded and operates through memberships, grants, donations, fund-raisers, gift shop income, ticket sales and endowment interest. The Pearson Lakes Art Center belongs to the community and relies on countless volunteers to help run the center. We are attempting to include more year-round community members in educational, performing and visual arts activities to reinforce the concept that the arts are for everyone and the Pearson Lakes Art Center is for every individual in our region.
