The Pittsfield Arts, Culture and Education Association, Inc. (PACE) was created to promote and operate artistic, cultural, educational and recreational programs in and around downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The initial focus of PACE will be the creation and operation of a carousel and adjacent spaces to display local collections of historical significance. The goal of PACE is to have the Pittsfield Carousel fully operational in time for the City of Pittsfield's 250th anniversary celebration in the year 2011.
