With current COVID-19 cases rising, PCAC and other arts organizations and artists are cautious. The uncertainty of COVID-19 safe practices continue to impact our plans to reschedule activities. We will update our site as these changes impact our events. The upcoming 2020-21 Season is posted as currently planned on the tab above. Check it occasionally for changes and updates.
Our granting organizations proceeded with their spring grant applications and extended deadlines in accordance with the COVID-19 outbreak. A second round of State budget reductions are expected in mid November and will likely impact us as well as all arts organizations. Although the picture ahead is uncertain we are hearing lots of creative alternatives from the artists we present.
Unfortunately, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks has had to cancel this summer’s tour but is creating a virtual road trip called “Reverse Tour: Postcards from the Road” which will be available beginning Monday, June 29th. Here’s information from them:
This summer, we’ve asked tour coordinators, community members, and actor alums to send in video “postcards” extolling the virtues of their communities while sharing a little Shakespeare along the way. Beginning Monday, June 29th, you can find a new postcard – almost every day! – on our Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels.

These four young musicians from Munich possess charismatic and authentic stage presence and set audiences aflame with their spark-throwing enthusiasm and burning passion for this rare form of chamber music. In their highly professional, exact interpretations, Arcis Saxophone Quartet explores the relationship between individual expressivity and interwoven ensemble performance. In doing so, they captivate listeners with their joy of playing and expressive depth. Their eagerness to communicate with each other gives a sense that they are performing with one unified musical voice. The resulting effect is far-reaching sonically and musically, with the saxophone’s entire spectrum of color coming to light.
With the current increase of COVID cases, the PCAC Board of Directors has decided to cancel the 2021 Holiday Home Tour. We are sorry to have to table the fund raiser again this year but feel it unwise with the current uptick of the virus. We sincerely hope next year will improve.
