General

The Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Kauai Community College is available for performing arts and instructional programs of the University of Hawaii, and non-profit organizations involved in culture and the arts projects. Each non-profit organization must be officially registered with a 501-C status and possess an insurance policy.
