the future is PACE
PROMOTING ARTS COMMUNITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP PACE is an organized community supporting and celebrating the creative energy and entrepreneurial spirit of students. PACE develops and inspires a vibrant, public showcase of youth-driven fashion, art, music, design, performance, and business. Empowering the future creators, leaders, disrupters, inventors, and changemakers. PACE brings everyone in once a year to host a festival, which includes a dynamic marketplace for student-run businesses, original fashion collections, artwork, and handmade goods. Along with interactive installations, curated art exhibitions, live performances, and live fashion show. We are highlighting the innovation and talent of young artists, designers, and entrepreneurs. PACE is more than an event—it’s a movement that connects youth expression with real-world mentorship opportunities. By fostering community, creativity, and confidence, PACE helps students see themselves as active contributors to the cultural and economic fabric of the community.
