Since the year 2012, Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Cen-ter
has been an essential part of not just Bowling Greens act-ing
community, but the city as a whole.
In 2014, SKyPAC was voted the Best Local Performing Site in
Kentucky by readers of Kentucky Living Magazine.
Since March 2012, SKyPAC, formally known as the Southern
Kentucky Performing Arts Center, has provided Bowling Green with a
major center for Broadway shows, musicians both local and global,
comedy acts and childrens productions . At the same time, it has
also acted as a source of economic growth for the downtown area. A
number of large scale business-ventures, includ-ing SKyPAC, were
used to stimulate economic growth in the wake of the 2008
recession. Ac-cording to Micheal Buchanon, Judge-Executive of
Warren County, SKyPAC was especially cost-productive to produce,
since the recession af-fected the cost of labor and building
materials. $3.985 million has been funneled into downtown Bowling
Green as a direct result of SKyPAC spending habits. SKyPAC
functions as not only a center for the arts, but also as a major
economic asset to Bowling Green.
On April 13th, 2014, SKyPAC held their third annual Community
Day. SKyPAC provided an afternoon of family-friendly entertainment,
brining in musicians, art-ists and hands-on activities.
