The Bucksbaum Center for the Arts is part of Grinnell College, located in Grinnell, Iowa. The center was completed in May 1999, and actually contains the old Fine Arts complex. The center was designed by renowned architect César Pelli.

  • Faulconer Gallery - A 7,420 square-foot gallery space that houses the college's Permanent Collection as well as traveling exhibitions. The gallery is named for donors Vernon and Amy Faulconer.[1]
  • The Sebring-Lewis Recital Hall - A 4,050 square-foot concert hall.
  • The Flanagan Studio Theatre - A 2,000 square-foot theatre (formerly the Arena Stage), named for Federal Theatre Project director and 1911 Grinnell graduate Hallie Flanagan.

  • The Wall Performance Lab - A black box theatre.
  • 6 fully equipped art studios, in addition to a computer lab, scene shop, dance studio, and 15 practice rooms.
