Our Story
The New York Korean Performing Arts Center (NYKPAC) serves a vital role in New York City through the teaching of traditional arts to members of the Korean community, and through performances for both Korean and general audiences. In addition, NYKPAC has played an instrumental role in instilling Korean cultural pride to second generation Korean Americans and in fostering intercultural dialogue with the American society at large. Since 1998, NYKPAC has received annual grants from the Folk Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In 2013, NYKPAC was awarded a grant from New York State Council on the Arts for the Korean Music and Dance Education for Children.
