The Buddy Holly Center

Housed in Lubbock's renovated Ft. Worth and Denver Depot, the Buddy Holly Center preserves the legacy of Buddy Holly and the music of Lubbock and West Texas while presenting contemporary visual arts exhibitions that reflect the region's cultural heritage. The center describes its dual focus as "Where Art & Music Collide." Adjacent to the building, the Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza features a statue by sculptor Grant Speed and is open to the public year-round during daylight hours. The center's Meadows Courtyard is available to rent for receptions, business meetings, and other celebrations. Rental inquiries are handled through the center's events team and require at least 90 days' advance notice.
