The Long Center for the Performing Arts

At the Long Center, we know what Austin is all about. Our musicians, artists, and creators put Austin on the map. Their work is what draws us in, keeps us here, and allows us to innovate, grow, and thrive. Uniquely located facing the city skyline, we breathe and pulse along with the creative energy that powers it. We’re proud to bring what Austin is to communities near and far every day, on virtual stages and actual ones, through connections and community. Built in 2008 and with a local history that spans many more generations, we welcome you to accept this invitation from a true Austinite to be at the center of it all. We’ve stayed busy helping Austin’s creative culture thrive and survive through the tough times affecting our entire community. Through it all, we’ve helped you discover new Austin artists, brought you safe ways to celebrate the music you already love, and kept Austin’s cultural sector working together. But the best part of all? We’re just getting started.
