Our community fine arts organization has been meeting regularly since October 21, 2004. In just a few months we’ve developed and adopted a Mission Statement, By Laws, and Articles of Incorporation. We now have a bank account and our 501(c)3 status.

PAAC membership is composed of many branches of the fine arts: professionals, educators, students of the arts; and many individuals dedicated to promoting and encouraging the arts. We want the arts to flourish in the Pewaukee Area. PAAC utilizes the many talents, abilities and interests of its members.

Our first project was an ambitious one. On June 4, 2005, we sponsored a Community Based Art Project with artist, Joel Pfeiffer, directing the event. He is famous for his “Clay Stomps®.” People who live and work in the Pewaukee area came together along with many guests to mix and stomp three and a half tons of clay together. It was pressed into contained slabs, and then artistically carved by those attending the event. The clay tiles were fired, glazed and formed into an impressive and beautiful ceramic piece of artwork, which was given as a gift to the new Pewaukee Public Library. This festival day celebrated some of the creative arts including music, visual arts, and dance. PAAC has big plans for the future and the members are planning to explore many ways to better facilitate bringing the arts to the community and the community to the arts.
