The Pacific Arts Corporation, Inc. is a company formed by Michael Nesmith circa 1974 to manage and develop media projects, including the medium and the content. The company is associated with a "drawing" dove logo. ==History== Pacific Arts Corporation, Inc. began as Pacific Arts Productions, Inc when incorporated on October 18, 1974 as a California corporation by Michael Nesmith (incorporated by Nesmith's accountant, Howard Leitner of Leitner, Zander, Sniderman & Co., Los Angeles).〔California Secretary of State, Entity #C0724516, October 18, 1974〕 The first product released under Pacific Arts Productions was under the subsidy of the Pacific Arts Records label in September 1974 of Nesmith's own concept album, ''The Prison''. Between 1974 and 1981, Pacific Arts Productions created a large library of various musical artists and built its own independent record distribution system. Nesmith considered Pacific Arts an umbrella corporation over two major divisions, TV and records. It was during this time that Nesmith began to develop music videos, produce ''PopClips'' (the predecessor for MTV), and ideas for a non-theatrical home video business.〔Forrest, Rick, "Label Video Departments Begin Evolution from Promotion to Production", Billboard Magazine, November 22, 1980〕 In 1981, Pacific Arts Productions, Inc. changed its name to The Pacific Arts Corporation, Inc. (PAC)〔California Secretary of State, Business Entity #C1047466, Date Filed: 06/23/1981〕 PAC was then structured to oversee various anticipated subsidiaries for managing different types of media which included Pacific Arts Records. There have been several Pacific Arts subsidiaries over the years, including, but not limited to, Pacific Arts Productions, Inc., Pacific Arts Pictures (merged out), Pacific Arts Publishing (merged out), and Pacific Arts Audio Inc. (dissolved).〔California Secretary of State, Business Entities of Michael Nesmith, Howard Leitner, et al.〕 Following the creation of PAC in 1981, Pacific Arts Video (a subsidiary of PAC) released the home video ''Elephant Parts'', a long-form video featuring various comedy skits and music videos. ''Elephant Parts'' was an early home video available to consumers and would win the first Grammy Award for a music video. In 1992, Pacific Arts began releasing promotional material on the then-upcoming video, ''Michael Nesmith Live at the Britt Festival''. With the release, Nesmith alludes to the growing number of subsidiaries, listing the distribution of the video as a Pacific Arts subsidiary named "One of the Nesmith Enterprises".〔Pacific Arts Advertisement, Billboard Magazine, August 15, 1992〕 On the release of Nesmith's album ''The Garden'' in 1994, he introduced his current record company, Rio Records. PAC is the managing partner of Videoranch, LLC which was established in 2007 as a Delaware LLC.〔State of Delaware, Division of Corporatons, File Number 4310753, Incorporaton Date 03/14/2007〕 Videoranch LLC is the operating entity for Videoranch.com and Videoranch3d.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Arts Corporation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
