About PAA
Great Lakes Performing Artist Associates (PAA, a unique non-profit arts organization was founded in 1978. Its mission is to encourage the cultural and artistic development of the Great Lakes region by supporting the performance careers of exceptional regional artists. By offering high caliber artists at affordable fees to regional performing arts presenters, we extend the strength and vitality of cultural enrichment to a greater and more diverse population. These presenters include college, church, and community concert series, regional orchestras, schools, libraries, and “non-traditional” venues such as community centers and nursing homes. PAA’s Artists present concerts, recitals, master classes, workshops, residencies, and educational programs throughout Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
