PACE at The Tateuchi Center Promises to Wow and Inspire in a Thoroughly Modern Way

The Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE) is revitalizing the Tateuchi Center in Downtown Bellevue with ambitious plans to create a technologically advanced performing arts venue. Under CEO Ray Cullom's leadership, PACE seeks to incorporate innovative technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, making centuries-old works more relevant for today's audiences. The proposed center will feature unparalleled flexibility, ensuring that each visit feels like a new experience, thus setting a new standard for performing arts spaces. Cullom stresses the importance of adaptability, noting that without ongoing upgrades, the center risks becoming obsolete before it even opens. The programming will aim to attract a wide range of audiences, showcasing performances that blend various genres and styles of art.

An arts-themed makerspace will also support regional artists in creating inspiring performances for the venue. With an eye-catching architectural design and a digitally activated interior, the building will serve as a dynamic visual canvas in Downtown Bellevue. Despite the anticipated opening being a few years away, community enthusiasm for PACE's evolution is already palpable.
