Zahorik Breast Center at Huntington Hospital, Five Acres and many other health, educational, arts and social service agencies. In 2006, the board of directors formed and in 2007, Lineage was established as an independent 501(c)3 organization.

In 2006, Lineage produced Dancing through the Ages at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium with their first grant from City of Pasadena Arts & Culture I. In 2008, the Tournament of Roses Foundation funded "A Day of Dance" in partnership with Kidspace Museum and the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission, City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division provided funding for the First Annual Pasadena Dance Festival.

Since then, Lineage has been providing the community with a hub for the arts. A large range of arts performances have been held in this space from magic shows to art gallery openings. In October 2014, the position of Executive Director was created to oversee staff and business operations. LPAC will continue to provide arts to Pasadena and its surrounding areas.
