Eisner Center
for the Performing Arts
The Eisner Center is a hub of energy and creativity, uniting dance, music, and theatre under one roof. It’s where talent meets opportunity, and every rehearsal, design, and collaboration is part of the learning that brings ambitious performances to life. Students work side-by-side with professional designers, directors, and technicians — gaining more opportunities to create, perform, and learn than they would at other colleges.

Bryant provides outstanding exhibition, studio, classroom, performance, practice, and social spaces for the arts and the entire campus community, as well as being the home to the Visual Arts and Art History & Visual Culture departments.

The Cinema House is home to faculty and staff offices for the Cinema department, a screening room, production equipment, an editing room, and media stations.
Doane Cinema

A teaching museum, the Denison Museum is fittingly located in the Eisner Center. The museum’s teaching collection includes cultural heritage, historical, scientific, and artistic objects. World-class exhibitions create a space for interdisciplinary engagement and dialogue, helping infuse the arts across the campus community. From artist talks and panel discussions to film screenings, live performances, and hands-on workshops, museum events offer opportunities for learning, creativity, and connection.
