Pattagansett Art Center

East Lyme, CT

Pattagansett Art Center (PAC) is a nonprofit arts organization located in East Lyme, Connecticut, providing visual arts education, studio residencies, exhibition programming, and community events on a historic rural campus. The center's programming serves artists at all stages of practice and engages local and regional communities through workshops, open studios, and public exhibitions.

A 2026 FCI Catalyst Grant will support insulation improvements, ENERGY STAR window replacement, and sensor-based LED lighting across underutilized buildings on the rural Connecticut campus. The upgrades advance the PAC’s adaptive reuse goals, supporting both energy efficiency and the physical conditions necessary for year-round arts programming.
