Parker Arts, Culture and Events (PACE) Center opened to the public in October 29, 2011. This state-of-the-art facility located on Parker’s historic Mainstreet, offers the best of touring acts, as well as, local performances, exhibits and educational programs. The PACE Center is home to a 536-seat Mainstage theater, 3,000 square foot event room, art gallery, dance studio, media lab, teaching culinary kitchen, four multi-use classrooms and a unique interactive musical outdoor playground called Harmony Park. The perfect rental venue, PACE also hosts weddings, fundraisers, meetings and more.
Parker built the PACE Center to increase the cultural offerings, create a community gathering place, enhance the downtown area and impact economic development. The time was favorable to take advantage of decreased construction costs, beneficial financing and the Build America Bond Program, and aid in long-term planning for the Town of Parker.
The construction cost for the PACE Center was $21.7 million. Most was financed through certificates of participation, which are much like a loan. The Town borrowed this money and will make payments for 25 years. The operations are being funded out of current revenues with no tax increase.
The PACE Center was designed by the award-winning firm of Semple Brown Design, known locally for the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the King Performing Arts Center. The general contractor for the project was Shaw Construction.
The PACE Center is located at the southeast corner of Mainstreet and Pine Drive in historic downtown Parker. A calendar of upcoming shows and events can be found at http://parkerarts.org/2019/Shows-Events and to see the current and upcoming gallery exhibits visit, http://parkerarts.org/1796/Gallery-Exhibits.
