2024-25 PACE Series Features More Than 30 Events

The Jefferson College Performing Arts and Cultural Enrichment (PACE) Series will return for 2024-25 with more than 30 events spanning a wide range of fine arts entertainment genres, including visiting artists in addition to performances that feature Jefferson College students and community members. 

This season will be a little different, since the Fine Arts building is under construction and the theatre will not be used. But don’t worry, all of the events are still happening, they will just be held in new locations. The Arts are Everywhere, which is also the PACE theme for this year.
