The Hixson–Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts is the fine and performing arts college at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. The college was established in 1993 as the College of Fine and Performing Arts, combining arts-focused programs from across the university. It was renamed in 2000 after receiving an $18-million donation from Christina Hixson and the Lied Foundation Trust. Most of the college's facilities are located in the southwest corner of NU's City Campus in what is sometimes referred to as the "Arts Quadrangle." Andy Belser has served as dean of the college since 2022.
The Hixson–Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts offers degree programs through the School of Art, Art History, and Graphic Design, the Glenn Korff School of Music, the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, and the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film. It is closely affiliated with the Lied Center for Performing Arts, the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, and the Sheldon Museum of Art.
