The Peace Center's mission is to present the world's finest performers from a broad variety of disciplines, provide quality services to support local performing arts groups, and foster life-long appreciation for the arts through comprehensive education and outreach programs for children, educators and adults.

Founded with the philosophy that a strong cultural life is integral to a community's success, The Peace Center is an advocate for the performing arts, and actively participates in the economic development and cultural advancement of South Carolina.

The Peace Outreach Program (POP!), a nationally recognized arts education initiative, fulfills a critical part of The Peace Center’s overall mission. Each year, POP! serves nearly 70,000 students, teachers and other community members from across Upstate South Carolina, as well as parts of Georgia and Western North Carolina.
