The Long Center for the Performing Arts is founded on the belief that the performing arts are essential components in the quality of life of our community. Our performing arts organizations - from the smallest to the largest - deserve and need facilities that reflect their contribution to the culture of our community. Therefore, our mission is to create and manage a world-class facility that will serve the broad spectrum of performing arts organizations in Austin and Central Texas.
