PASEO ARTS ASSOCIATION
The Paseo Arts Association (PAA) is a non-profit, 501 c3 organization that manages the monthly First Friday Gallery Walks, the annual Paseo Arts Festival, SPACE: an Artist in Residence, the annual Paseo Arts Awards and Paseo FEAST.
In 2020, the PAA completed their expansion and creation of the Paseo Arts and Creativity Center which has bolstered their visibility and arts programming growth. The PAA now manages three art galleries, a gift shop, a photography studio and 10 artist studio spaces and hosts 30 art exhibitions every year in the Paseo Arts & Creativity Center.
The Paseo Arts Association (PAA) has also worked since 1981 to develop the Paseo Arts District into the thriving arts district it is today. We work to strengthen the foundation of our historic district by supporting artistic growth within the community year-round through public events and programs. Today, over 100,000 annual visitors attend Paseo events and programs, and over 80 artists maintain more than 20 active galleries or studios in the neighborhood. Several restaurants, nonprofit organizations and 25 other businesses also call the area home.
