Performance Arts Culture Cessnock (PACC)

Since opening on 22 November 2008, Performance Arts Culture Cessnock (PACC) has not only built a regular audience for concerts and plays, it has also become a significant player in audience development and community engagement.

Each year, PACC strives to provide live entertainment experiences for our audiences that embraces the eclectic scope of our industry. From brilliant Australian and international theatre productions through to innovative and expressive dance; from the cream of the comedy crop to original live music and acts that capture the essence of the music greats, PACC prides itself on providing something for everyone.

The gallery, occupying the second floor, boasts 200 square meters of exhibition space adorned with 57 meters of versatile wall hanging area. Retaining its historic character through features such as steel supports, pressed metal ceilings, and polished tallowwood floors, the gallery serves as a captivating backdrop for a diverse range of socially engaged exhibitions, workshops, and public programs.

PACC is dedicated to fostering innovation and inclusivity in the arts, with an annual program showcasing vibrant local and national contemporary artworks. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in thought-provoking exhibitions and explore the brand-new retail space, offering unique treasures crafted by local artisans.
