A solid group of determined individuals have been working to create a much-needed performing arts facility in Chewelah. PACA's mission is to bring together leadership and resources to create and sustain a center of excellence to educate, inspire, and celebrate the performing and visual arts in Chewelah, Washington. It is intended to provide a place for meetings, artists in residence, scene and costume construction and the necessary additional support spaces needed for ongoing artistic activity. PACA. is currently working with the City of Chewelah to transform the Armory/City Shop building just south of Chewelah's Museum, into a working performing arts facility. Events are already in the works.
