LAC is a strong institution and an important part in the social fabric of the city. With its international standing yet its community engagement, the cultural center is a stage for performing arts, music, and visual arts.

Founded in Lugano in 2015, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura is a multidisciplinary cultural center meant to host different artistic disciplines. In a short time, it has deeply changed the city, becoming a cultural benchmark for the national and international public.

LAC produces the performing art, theater, dance and music season, and the classical music programme is to be involved from 2024. The resident Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana and Compagnia Finzi Pasca enrich the cultural offerings together with the rich exhibition schedule curated by Museo d’Arte della Svizzera Italiana.

LAC stands out for its social commitment and community involvement, promoting follow-up meeting, debates and cultural initiatives accessible to everyone, as well as offering a wide educational program handled by LAC edu, which presents hundreds activities intended to assist public of all ages, and particularly visitors with disability, in approaching and understanding art and culture.
