Family Fun Night 2019

Your donations will help PAAC fulfill our mission of providing accessible fine arts opportunities to children and families in Southern Ohio and the surrounding areas.

The Portsmouth Area Arts Council has been serving our region for over 50 years. We provide quality children's programming at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts on the campus of Shawnee State University as well as outreach and educational programs to schools and children across our area. At PAAC, it is our mission "to integrate the arts into the lives of children and families and to encourage the appreciation of the arts and cultural heritage of the region."

PAAC is also the parent organization for the Portsmouth Area Children's Theatre, which is celebrating its tenth year during the 2020-2021 season. PACT is a production company for student actors ages 6-18. Participation in a Children's Theatre production is offered for free to all students.
