The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center transforms lives through sustained engagement with the arts.
The Clarice Smith Center is, first and foremost, a place for learning, exploration and growth.
We believe that 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 the community in opportunities for 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 work we value attracts people who share our vision and take risks with us.
