When asked about her favorite place in Southern Nevada, Lindsey Jamieson Gilbert said, “Not to sound like a total suck-up, but I truly love The Smith Center. I believe we offer something really special to the community, with amazing programming, educational events for local students and impressive art and architecture.” She even got married in the center’s grand lobby before joining the programming team in 2021.
Gilbert finds joy in working with artists that have inspired her throughout her life and with new artists who will influence future generations. She has a strategic eye for the kinds of shows guests want to see and a deep understanding of management, operations and contracts.
Gilbert works with community outreach programs that are meaningful to her. As a breast cancer survivor and former pageant queen, she currently volunteers as the Nevada State Leader for the Young Survival Coalition, advocating for young breast cancer patients. From 2018-2024 she served as the President of the Board of Directors for the Miss Nevada Scholarship Organization, dedicated to educating young women.
