Smith Center for the Arts — known locally as The Smith — is a landmark performing arts venue in the heart of downtown Geneva, NY, on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. Built in 1894 and lovingly restored, the ornate opera house seats approximately 1,400 and hosts a year-round mix of concerts, theatrical productions, film screenings, and community events. Few rooms in Upstate New York match its combination of historic grandeur and intimate atmosphere.
