Paterson Performing Arts Development Council
Bringing together multicultural communities via performing arts and cultural events
At the Paterson Performing Arts Development Council (PPADC), a 501C3 nonprofit, we are committed to bringing outstanding entertainment and cultural events to the City of Paterson, New Jersey, reaching a broader diverse audience, and providing educational opportunities to young adults from underserved neighborhood wards.
We believe in providing the community at large with a series of state-of-the-art performances that truly make an impact. We see the power of the performing arts in enriching the cultural fabric of Paterson and the Silk City’s historic vibrancy.
Come see what we’re all about and start your arts experience with us today!😊
