The Untermyer Performing Arts Council, Inc ( UPAC ) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization whose primary purpose has been for over thirty three years to promote the appreciation of the performing arts in Yonkers and the surrounding area and in particular, to foster and sponsor programs for and in Untermyer Park. UPAC is committed to securing quality programs for the citizens who attend the Summer Concert Series in Untermyer Park and other events done throughout the year. Our organization depends on individuals and corporations to help fund these events. UPAC has grown dramatically during its 33+ years of arranging these admission-free events. In the past years, we have collaborated with Arts Westchester ( formerly the Westchester Arts Council ) to present the largest Cinco de Mayo Festival in Westchester County, continue to provide walking tours of Untermyer Park and the Grecian Gardens, conduct an annual toy drive for Leake & Watts Foster Care Program, maintain a community garden at the park and feature special holiday cultural events such as Halloween Around the World and an annual Irish Concert each March. In addition, UPAC co-sponsors the Yonkers Idol and Junior Idol Contest with the Yonkers Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation by presenting the winners with a prize. Local and international performers continue to seek out the Arts Council to perform during the summer providing the highest artistic talent that educates and entertains, and where possible, relates to the history of the park. Past groups such as DESNA Ukrainian Dance Company of Toronto, Lori Belilove, Isadora Dunce Dance Company, Thalia Spanish Theatre, The Aloha Paradise Review, Cherish the Ladies and Connecticut Ballet Company have provided such entertainment. Pre-concert events have included art exhibits, tours and special children's events.
