On March 1, 2010 the Piqua Arts Council will open the doors to its new location!
In the 20th year since it was founded, PAC is leaving the office located in the
Chamber of Commerce building and moving to its own storefront located at 427 N.
Main Street. "Having a larger space will allow us to do so much more for the
community," says Anna Baumeister, Executive Director. Announcements
about the positive impact this move will have on the community will be shared as
details are finalized.

Metropolitan Opera Series
The Piqua Arts Council is partnering with Cinemark Miami Valley to promote this
year's Metropolitan Opera HD Series. Nine operas will be performed live on stage
at the Metropolitan Opera while Cinemark in Piqua receives a live feed of the
performance that will be shown in HD on the theater screen. The arts council
will distribute 90 complimentary tickets to area students who will be attending
these prerformances to gain special credit. "It's the next best thing to a live
performance," says Anna Baumeister, Executive Director. These performances will
be included in the Art in the Schools program hosted by the arts council to
enhance student's exposure and love of the arts while supporting the school's
existing curriculum.
If you've wanted to attend a live opera and haven't been able to get out of
town, this series is for you. Not only do viewers enjoy the opera live as it's
being performed on stage, they also get a sneak peek at stage set changes,
interviews with actors and behind the scenes action that they wouldn't get at
the Met. The public is encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
Adult tickets sell for $22.Learn more about this series:
