Presser Arts Center embodies a culture of creativity.
Diversity, Values and Inclusion are more than just words.
They’re the principles guiding how we build our board and staff to create a center that mirrors our region.
We have a multicultural region reflected inside our walls.
We are passionate about creating art and we are passionate about encouraging everyone to do their best work.
WE are a PRODUCTION HOUSE, NOT a presenting theatre!
We PRODUCE our own productions and events, we do NOT hire acts or entertainers to present to the public.
Presser Arts Center provides high quality performing arts productions, instruction in a variety of disciplines including music, art, performance theater, film and instruments ranging from acoustic guitar to the piano. Presser Arts Center offers classes, camps and activities for people of all ages and skill levels.
Conveniently located in micropolitan Mexico, Missouri, Presser Arts Center is a regional center encompassing a 30-mile radius with 22 zip codes that is inspired and focused on providing high quality performances and a variety of learning opportunities for those in our area and throughout the Midwest.
"Our mission is to inspire, entertain, and educate people in the arts by providing the finest venue, productions, and programs."
