The Jon Sims Center for the Performing Arts was a multidisciplinary performing arts center in San Francisco, California that supports artistic voices of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. The Center provided resources to support and promote new and existing arts programs. The Center closed in November 2006 following a financial crisis that included the disappearance of $35,000 in grant money. Longer term problems included the lack of a stable, long-term board and executive director, despite determined efforts to keep the institution alive.
