TPAC encourages active participation in the arts for students, alumni, and the community.
“From the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to international performance troupes, the Todd has long been a cultural hub and important space for bringing larger acts to the region. Our capacity to host even more shows and events makes this partnership possible and allows our two organizations to combine resources to grow arts audiences, improve arts accessibility and build and connect communities on the Mid Shore.”
