Bucks County Performing Arts Center
(formerly Lower Makefield Society for the Performing Arts)

Now celebrating its 28th season, the LMSPA has evolved into the Bucks County Performing Arts Center, to better represent the expansion of its programming and reach into all of Bucks County. The organization will continue to be sponsored by Lower Makefield Township and partially financed through the Local Government Grant Program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Lower Makefield Township.

The BCPAC offers monthly concerts from September through April. Presented primarily in the Lower Makefield Township Building, the series also provides a showcase for area print, photo, water color, and related media artists to exhibit their works, adding a colorful and distinctive dimension to the musical performances.

Mission and Support

BCPAC is dedicated to building community through the arts by providing access to performing and visual artists in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania region. BCPAC endeavors to select a broad range of performing arts to address different art forms, cultures and tastes in the community. The BCPAC has received grants from the Grundy Foundation, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, PennPAT, Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, Wachovia, Sovereign Bank, Target Stores, McCaffrey’s and Wal Mart and continues to be supported by Lower Makefield Township and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Individual residents also support the organization through their generous gifts and extensive patronage.

Partnerships

In 1996, the LMSPA Outreach Program joined forces with the Pennsbury School District to promote the National Standards for Arts Education by bringing artists into the educational environment. The program works with teachers and offers mini-grants to bring artists into the classroom to enhance the curriculum. During 2005, BCPAC established new partnerships with Pro Line Music and the Yardley Community Centre, and has plans to extend its primary and secondary school partnership program throughout Bucks County, along with other venues and arts organizations.
