Artistic Excellence

To look at a performing arts center as merely a building is to miss its true intention. The appeal of The Smith Center goes far beyond what is observed by patrons and casual passersby; this is a place that will truly embrace the community and support artistic excellence.

Serving as an incubator for new artistic endeavors, our programs will reach beyond The Smith Center campus and spread throughout the community, providing inspiration and encouragement to local arts organizations.

Home to resident companies including Nevada Ballet Theatre and the Las Vegas Philharmonic, The Smith Center’s state-of-the-art facilities will enable organizations to grow artistically and institutionally, ultimately fulfilling the city’s longstanding dream of engaging the entire community in new and exciting ways through an array of inspiring programs.

In the years to come, The Smith Center will attract artists and productions from around the world; develop its own main stage works of the highest caliber and present the best and brightest of Broadway.
