What We Do

The Clarice Smith Center transforms lives through sustained engagement with the arts.

The Clarice Smith Center is, first and foremost, a place for learning, exploration, and growth.

At the Clarice Smith Center, great work happens both on-stage and off-stage.

Diverse perspectives from diverse peoples are vital to our purpose.

Artists create value for our programs when they are both skilled at and committed to engaging in learning, exploration, and growth.

We are committed to presenting unfamiliar, unpredictable, and developing work.

We value big experiences more than big numbers.

Not only has our audience chosen us, we've chosen them.

The Center's mission is reflected in its unusual building design.
