IPAC the pulse of entertainment 2009/10
The Indio performing Arts center is now in its 4th tumultuous year and despite these difficult times, we are still going strong. This achievement is made possible by the dedication of our multi talented team of volunteers who have covered every aspect of the organizational functions with impressive skills and experience.
Like many non profit entities, the aspirational dreams of our founders and benefactors have had to be tempered with the realities that affect us all in these harsh economic times. We have, however, been able to work within these limitations and adjust our programs to match resources. This has drawn plaudits from both the public and our peers in the theatrical business.
Working within these ongoing limitations, IPAC is now poised for an extraordinary 2009/10 season which will be a combination of plays, cabaret and dance programs for all age groups. The overriding theme is one of light hearted entertainment at affordable prices.
We have a unique and flexible facility offering three 125 seat theatres and an exposition hall with a capacity of 350. We are therefore able to put on multiple events simultaneously ranging from cinema to live theatre linked by exhibitions, dancing and dinner cabaret. We offer all areas for rent and this has proved a real boost to income generation. Being a non-profit 501©3 organization, every cent is re-invested in the organization and donations are all tax deductable.
This multi functional space also lends itself to the local community and we are very proud to support the school districts, local government and other representative organizations that can utilize the very high standard of accommodation that we can provide. IPAC also offers educational and personal development opportunities in the arts to children, young adults and seniors through the developing programs that will soon form the Academy for the Arts with the help and support from YOU, the public.
We are committed to our mission statement and this remains the driving force of enthusiasm from everyone connected with the IPAC.
This is not an isolated arts center at the east end of the valley, it is an integral part of the life in our region. It is a celebration of culture and equal opportunity and as such, we are working tirelessly with all elements of the community both in mutual support and collaboration.
We are very proud of our achievements to date despite the ongoing financial pressures. Struggling to maintain these high standards is tempered by limitless enthusiasm and public support.
We are particularly appreciative of the City of Indio which has invested so much in the regeneration of the community and the resources for people to achieve pride in the place where they live, work and play.
