Year round multi-use performing arts venue in Parker
The construction of Pace began on April 2010. Award-winning architectural firm of Semple Brown Design handled the project together with general contractor, Shaw Construction. The designers and contractors took into consideration the history of where PACE will rise and allowed natural open spaces to get beautiful views of the mountains.
The site where PACE was built was originally a train trestle. The builders were thoughtful enough to incorporate weathered steel panels inside and outside which reflects the history of the location.
A massive piece of art called “The Nucleus” greets visitors at the entryway. The large art piece which serves as PACE’s signature sculpture was created by Tim Upham of Fort Collins after being chosen from 73 hopeful applicants.
The PACE Center has different sections dedicated to art and science. It has a 536-seat theatre, 250-seat amphitheatre, event room, art gallery, dance studio, culinary kitchen, and classrooms.
Shows at PACE
PACE Center holds several shows like the 7th Annual Brass Festival, ballet shows, summer concerts, and even the Miss Colorado beauty pageant.
The center also has two professionally curated galleries that exhibits art works from local and national artists that ranges from paintings, sculptures and photography.
