Manatee Performing Arts Center

Arts and cultural organizations in every community across the world play an increasingly important role in economic development and the general quality of life of its citizens and visitors. As a community grows, cultural and artistic needs also expand. Since staging its first production performance in 1947, The Manatee Players, Inc. has provided diverse and enriching opportunities for the entertainment and education of residents and visitors to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The organizations’ vision celebrates this long history of community enrichment while committing itself to expanding both its artistic repertoire and community education programs to attract and serve every sector of our region

Great organization in supporting the Celtic culture in the area. Provides scholarships for those that apply for the Celtic arts and athletics.

Finally a united group that will be the host our local Scottish Highland Games!! Many of us are looking forward to the inaugural event that will be held on Saturday Feb 10th at the Manatee County Fairgrounds in Palmetto FL. A much larger venue than the Sarasota Fairgrounds!! I understand there will be a pipe band competition and a challenge between the Manatee County Sheriff's office and the EMT's in the actual Highland Games competition. See you in February!!

Once a PACE girl, always a PACE girl. Being part of PACE Center for Girls' first graduating class was transformative. PACE provided unwavering support during challenging times, boosting my confidence and helping me discover my true potential. The staff's personalized attention and encouragement were instrumental in overcoming obstacles and achieving academic success. PACE is more than an institution; it's a caring community that goes beyond academics. Thank you, PACE Center for Girls, for making a profound difference in my life.
