Construction is underway for Grace Performing Arts Center (GPAC) after a groundbreaking celebration June 8.
JAI is proud to partner with Grace Baptist Church to design the multi-functional facility that will offer arts education in music, dance and visual arts for Grace Christian Academy and Grace Baptist Church.
WATE highlighted plans for the facility, designed to nurture creativity, education and community at its northwest Knoxville campus.
The space will feature a tiered recital hall with seating for 250 people as well as flexible rehearsal spaces and dedicated music instruction rooms — all created to support students of all ages and the broader Grace community.
Plans include a two-story reception and lobby area, a dedicated lighting control booth and backstage amenities like a greenroom.
We’re excited to break ground on this thoughtfully designed facility and look forward to working with Johnson & Galyon throughout construction to see the vision for this facility become a reality.
