We are an incubator for innovation and creativity.
A cultural anchor for place-making and gathering. We are uniquely by, for and of Oxnard, and we welcome you to join our movement. |
Our 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Oxnard Performing Arts Center Corporation (OPAC), was established in 1998 as the administrative, programming, operations/management, and fundraising arm of the Center. We provide cultural and community programming by supporting, producing and presenting theater, dance, music, media/visual arts, residencies, and outside-the-box programs that are of, by and for Oxnard.
