Our Mission

Saratoga Performing Arts Center is a vibrant year-round home for arts, nature, and community—serving the Capital Region and beyond through artistic excellence, educational programming, and community outreach.

Its exquisite setting in a 2,400-acre park surrounded by hiking trails, geysers, and natural mineral springs draws lovers of arts, culture, and nature for performances by resident companies New York City Ballet, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center as well as Saratoga Jazz Festival and concerts by Live Nation, in addition to year-round dance, jazz, classical, and world music.

Embracing an ever-expanding definition of the arts spanning performing arts, visual arts, literary arts, culinary arts, healing arts, and beyond—SPAC is a home for shared transformative experiences where the power of the arts and the beauty of our natural world harmonize to educate, connect and inspire all.
