Elmhurst College's newest student gallery as of 2006, the Barbara A. Kieft Accelerator ArtSpace, was built around a 20-foot-high particle accelerator—a vintage 1950s piece of physics equipment, left over from the site’s former life as a physics lab. The gallery is a stunning collaboration between art and science.

Students also display artwork frequently in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center on campus.

The College also houses a remarkable collection of Chicago Imagist and Abstractionist Art. Located in the A.C. Buehler Library, the collection is composed of more than 80 works of art, many of which have been part of special exhibitions at major U.S. and European museums.
