Tacoma Urban Performing Arts Center (TUPAC)

Mission: T.U.P.A.C.’s mission is to provide the youth of Tacoma, particularly underrepresented youth in the historic Hilltop Community, with opportunities to achieve artistic excellence through culturally relevant pre-professional dance training, community events, and classes in the performing arts. Further, our mission is to provide students with mentoring by national and international artists, and intergenerational artists, and most importantly, whole person development and community give back.
