Our Community is at the Center

My Future is at the Center

For years, Partnership for the Performing Arts has enriched the Wild Rivers Coast through educational programs, live performances, and community partnerships. The Wild Rivers Performing Arts and Civic Center represents the next step in that journey—a permanent home that will expand opportunities for students, artists, families, and the entire community.

Designed to serve more than 50,000 residents, the Center will support performances, education, civic gatherings, and emergency preparedness for generations to come.

Opportunity Shouldn’t Depend on Geography

For too long, families on the Wild Rivers Coast have lacked equal access to arts, culture, and gathering spaces. PPA is changing that. The Center is designed to serve more than 50,000 residents throughout Del Norte County, Curry County, and neighboring Tribal communities.
