DUE TO COVID-19 AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH AND SAFETY, NO ON-CAMPUS PERFORMANCES ARE SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME.
First State Bank Center for Performing Arts
First State Bank Center for the Performing Arts (FSBCPA) at North Central Texas College, is a landmark structure for both the Gainesville Campus and the local community. But what goes on inside the building that is most exciting for college faculty and staff, both current and prospective students, and local musicians, singers, actors and patrons of the arts.
"Finally, with quality facilities for the teaching of both the performing and visual arts in place, our campus can truly become the cultural center of the community," - Dr. Eddie Hadlock, former NCTC interim president
