Mission Statement

To provide local, regional and global audiences with great art, architecture and design in an arts complex whose centerpiece is Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, the Price Tower.

Description

Price Tower Arts Center offers a one-of-a-kind experience: outstanding collections and exhibitions of art, architecture and design, events and programming, high design hotel accommodations, fine dining and exclusive shopping within a structure considered to be one of the great buildings of the 20th century.

Frank Lloyd Wright's 1956 Price Tower was his pioneering experiment in the multi-use skyscraper: a tall, slim, richly detailed structure whose purpose was to combine business offices, retail and apartments. Today, Price Tower Arts Center continues to follow Wright's original design intent by offering a variety of opportunities for guests to learn from and interact with one of the master's greatest achievements. With its fully restored historic interiors for the public to tour and educational programming and outreach, it has been acclaimed both locally and internationally.

In 2006, architecture and design enthusiasts from across the country celebrated the 50th anniversary of the completion of Wright's only skyscraper and in 2007 the Price Tower was named a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Dirk Kempthorne.
