The Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts (FWCPA) transitioned from its primary purpose of securing funds for the construction of the Performing Arts & Event Center (PAEC) in Federal Way to one of raising funds that supports ongoing programs inside the PAEC under a new name in 2017. Now, under our new name, Arts Foundation Federal Way, we look forward to ensuring that Federal Way is regarded as a dynamic regional destination with high quality programs, exceptional service for all and arts education for youth. This expansion will create a ripple effect, inspiring creativity and promoting the cultural vibrancy of the entire community.
