Mission

To provide and preserve a highquality performing arts center that is embraced by the community and recognized as a vital force by supporting artistic excellence, education and inspiration for all.

As the community’s Heart of the Arts®, The Smith Center presents hundreds of world-class performances each year with a diverse lineup of music, dance, Broadway musicals and special speakers in one of our three performance venues. The Smith Center is also host to many community events, meetings and special occasions. To promote the arts among younger generations, we offer arts education experiences free of charge to local students and educators throughout the year, including student matinees, in-school performances, and professional development opportunities for teachers. Local teaching artists engage and inspire students and teachers in The Smith Center's Disney Musicals in Schools program, as well as the Southern Nevada Wolf Trap Early Learning Through the Arts residencies in classrooms throughout the Valley. The Smith Center also arranges for professional artists to give master classes on the performing arts and is host to the annual Heart of Education® awards, recognizing Clark County school teachers.

VO LU N T E E R There are many opportunities to volunteer and play a direct role with your community’s performing arts center. Volunteers engage with staff and patrons to enhance experiences at The Smith Center, and can serve in various capacities including tour guide or docent, usher, or community ambassador. As important members of The Smith Center team, volunteers help us remain financially sustainable and provide numerous services for the community. Please show your support for The Smith Center’s mission by gifting your time and unique skills.

G I V I NG Thanks to the generous support of our dedicated Founders, Members, Donors and Sponsors, The Smith Center continues to provide a wide variety of services for Las Vegas area residents, including access to world-class performances, inspirational Education and Outreach programs for students and teachers, and a unique space to host events, meetings and special occasions. Celebrating our fifth season, we depend upon public support to fulfill our mission and serve as the Heart of the Arts® in Southern Nevada for many years to come. With ticket sales covering just 75 percent of the cost to produce a season, the remaining 25 percent comes from the community we serve. Philanthropic support at all levels helps provide programming that entertains, educates, enriches and inspires. By giving to The Smith Center, you play a vital role in providing an important resource for all of Southern Nevada.
