Mission
THE PERFORMANCE ART MUSEUM (PAM) IS THE FIRST U.S. INSTITUTION EXCLUSIVELY DEDICATED TO THE PRESENTATION AND PRESERVATION OF LIVE ART. OUR MISSION IS TO FACILITATE THE POWERFUL IMPACT OF LIVE EXPERIENCES THAT CAN PROFOUNDLY TRANSFORM OUR AWARENESS OF THE PRESENT MOMENT. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PAM IS CRUCIAL IN FILLING HISTORICAL VOIDS IN REPRESENTATION AND ARCHIVING THE PERFORMANCE ART GENRE, PROVIDING A DEDICATED SPACE WHERE PERFORMANCE ART CAN BE EXPERIENCED, CELEBRATED, STUDIED, AND PRESERVED WHILE DEFINING THE NEXT GENERATION.
