Our History

Dedicated to Enhancing the Arts

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.
