Community Performing Arts Series (CPAS) are performing arts events, arranged and produced by HAI, that take place throughout the year, primarily in the daytime, at wheelchair-accessible venues that can accommodate large audiences, in neighborhoods throughout New York City. The audiences are from health and mental health facilities and programs for seniors, as well as frail elderly and physically disabled individuals who may rarely have the chance to experience the thrill of live performances.

Special events in previous years have included Tito Puente, Karen Mason, Petula Clark, Ben Vereen, Bette Midler, Leslie Uggams, Karen Akers, Tom Wopat, Ann Hampton Callaway, Bo Diddley, and Ronnie Spector.

Dance Companies include Ailey 2, Urban Bush Women, Ballet Hispanico, Taylor 2, JAZZ DANCE by Danny Buraczeski, American Ballroom Theatre, Limon Dance Company, and Dance Theatre of Harlem.
