Be Bold. Build TPAC.
A New Performance Home
Help us realize our bold vision for the future – a new home for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) that elevates the artistic landscape of Nashville and transforms access to the arts for all.
Fifty years ago, a brave group of women seized an extraordinary opportunity to fight for the creation of a performing arts center. After more than four decades of enriching lives, enhancing education, and building community through the arts, TPAC stands at a pivotal, once-in-a-lifetime moment for brave and visionary champions of the arts to build a world-class cultural campus.
"People should support TPAC because it brings great joy and access to our current and future community. It's got to be the will of the community to keep TPAC going. It's a team effort."
More than a venue or a non-profit, TPAC is a pioneer of artistic excellence and education that has served generations of Nashvillians, revitalized schools and classrooms, and supported local arts companies. Our legacy is both expansive and local, and a new home for TPAC will be a hub for innovation and incubation that builds on the legacy, expands representation of our distinct communities, and makes accessible arts experiences that unite, uplift, and inspire.
TPAC is vital to Nashville’s vibrant arts community that has drawn people from around the world to make our city their home. If we truly want Nashvillians to stay, a thriving and community-focused home for TPAC is an artistic, educational, and economic imperative.
TPAC has embarked on this exciting journey with the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), whose innovative architectural vision will redefine the performing arts experience in Nashville.

Our $125 million Be Bold. Build TPAC. campaign goal includes a rare 5:1 match that applies to all gifts raised towards the first $100 million, dramatically increasing the impact of each contribution.
State funding will allow TPAC to continue providing essential services, but TPAC needs your support as we look to honor our legacy by creating new opportunities to expand our reach and relevancy for future generations with a new facility.
