Our Mission: Revitalize the arts throughout our university, community and region, and establish the Quick Center for the Arts as a destination for renowned national and international artists.
The Quick Center offers a wide range of resources — spacious art galleries, the 321-seat Rigas Family Theater, instructional spaces for the visual and performing arts, vocal and instrumental labs and rehearsal rooms, study and storage spaces — making it an education and entertainment hub for not only the campus but the community at large.
The Quick Center includes the F. Donald Kenney Museum and Art Study Wing, named after the late F. Donald Kenney, a university trustee and arts patron. The Kenney wing added galleries, a prints and drawings room, study and support spaces, further enhancing
the Quick Center's reputation as a center for regional collaboration and thought.
Quick Center galleries are open to the public year round at no charge.
Group tours are also available. To request a tour, please complete and submit our
