Our Mission

For over 50 years, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, in the heart of the glorious Spa State Park in Saratoga Springs, NY, has been the summer home of New York City Ballet and The Philadelphia Orchestra, and the location of more than a thousand performances of best-in-class artists across all genres. 

As it moves into its next 50 years, SPAC embraces its role as a steward of its place in the natural world and the transformative power of beauty in human lives. SPAC works to harness that power from both man-made and natural sources to forge deep connections from person to person and person to planet through a future that embraces an ever-expanding definition of the Arts including performing arts, visual arts, literary arts, culinary arts, healing arts and beyond. 

In its work on behalf of art, artists and community, SPAC works to educate, reveal, inspire, and serve the beauty in the world which connects, respects, and elevates all human beings.
