2026 Sponsorship Opportunities
Over the past ten years, the Highlands Performing Arts Center has transformed itself from a renovated former church into a 520-seat state of the arts performing arts venue to support ALL the performing arts groups in the area. Community built for everyone!
The future will see bigger and better growth with a mission to focus on sustainable artistic excellence and community engagement. The PAC is committed to providing high-quality performances, supporting local artists, and enriching the cultural landscape through diverse and engaging artistic experiences. And, as before, we cannot get there without your support.
Last year, we announced the first annual Highlands-Cashiers Film Festival. The festival had a juried competition of over 500 submissions from around the world along with the viewing of six feature films. This four-day festival also hosted lectures and workshops by directors and actors. It is our hope that this festival will grow each year to become a signature Highlands event.
We invite you to join us in this new venture for Highlands. Sponsorship levels are below.
Want to do even more to help get the PAC to the next level of excellence? Major donor opportunities still exist for the expansion of film and sound capabilities in the new theater and development of our adjoining property. Each expansion will thoughtfully include funding to sustain what has been built.
Join us for our next act!
