Bicknell Family Center for the Arts & Andy Warhol print

The Bicknell Family Center for the Arts is a premiere destination for the region. Peek inside whenever the building is open to see the stunning architecture and learn more about upcoming performances, and to view a 1987 serigraph of Andy Warhol’s “Beethoven, II. 390 on the 2nd floor mezzanine.

On Dec. 7, 2014, the center opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the facility. On March 12, 2015, the center celebrated with a gala performance hosted by its namesake, local entrepreneur Gene Bicknell. Since then, the center has hosted tens of thousands of audience members.

It was designed and constructed by the world's most renowned theater architects and features a 1,100-seat performance hall, a 250-seat theater, and a 3,500 square-foot art gallery. It provides students, faculty, staff, and the community transformational experiences behind the scenes and on stage in music, theatre, and art — from locally-produced concerts, plays, and exhibits, to national tours of Broadway shows.

The center annually hosts numerous public speakers of note as part of the H. Lee Scott Lecture Series and Women in Government Lecture Series, including former First Lady Laura Bush, former President Bill Clinton, legendary NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and more.

The center also hosts large campus gatherings, including the annual International Food & Culture Fair.
