ABOUT VIPA
The Venice Institute for Performing Arts (VIPA) has a mission to sustain the local arts community through innovative educational programs and inspire the local community with first-class entertainment. As the management company for the Venice Performing Arts Center, we work with all groups that use the space to produce, co-produce, manage, and coordinate over 200 events each season. VIPA has a $1.85 million dollar a year impact on the local economy, and this number grows each year as more and more people come to enjoy this beautiful facility. We are able to bring performing arts education to more than 2,000 Sarasota County youth each season through our educational programs.

VPAC is home to Venice High School’s Performing Arts Department and also hosts 3 Performing Arts Organizations.
