Partners & Sponsors

When the Lied Center for Performing Arts was first created nearly 30 years ago, the doors were able to open only through the support of the community. Today, it is through this same community support that we are able to present world-class artists year after year. 

Our corporate sponsors are a vital piece of this support. Each season, corporations across the state sponsor season shows and become part of the Lied Center. Extensive marketing benefits are provided in exchange for sponsorship contributions, as well as discounts on rental events in the Lied building, complimentary tickets to season events and employee discounts on numerous shows throughout the season.

To find out more about these benefits, please contact Alex Cerveny at 402.472.4737 or acerveny3@unl.edu.
