Long Center Collective

About LC Collective

Immerse yourself in creative discovery. It’s all around you.

Long Center Collective is a reimagined patron membership program — for the experience seekers, for the givers, for those looking for connection in the deepest, brightest corners of Austin’s creative spirit. Designed for members at the $1,200 annual level and above, this unique program offers unparalleled access to the artists, performances, and cultural experiences that only Austin can dream up.

As a member of the Collective — a Collector, if you will — you’ll enjoy curated events, behind-the-scenes moments, and intimate gatherings that deepen your connection to music, performance, and the city’s vibrant arts scene. You’ll join a community of engaged supporters who believe in the power of the arts to inspire, unite, and transform. Just like you.

We hope you’ll come along on this unforgettable mission of experience and help shape the future of the arts in our city. Long Center Collective launches September 10th with The Deep End — will you join us?
