The city terrace at the Long Center has some great views of the downtown skyline. And now the man in charge of the Long Center for the Performing Arts, Jamie Grant, wants to host more events and shows in those kinds of spaces around the center.
Sandra Zaragoza writes about Grant in this week’s Austin Business Journal. She tells KUT’s Nathan Bernier about his plans to make better use of the center’s space in a time of tight budgets.
He’s looking at the Long Center as kind of underutilized. He would like to really bring in more performances, use the indoor spaces, the outdoor spaces; he actually did that recently with Architects of Air, which was a really successful, kind of nontraditional performance.
