Price Tower Arts Center's rapidly growing architecture and design collections number almost 3,000 objects mainly concentrated in two areas: works by Frank Lloyd Wright and his firm and material by architect Bruce Goff. Concerning the former, significant pieces range from the Prairie Style to his late modernism include furniture, textiles, and documents. The latter group of Goff material-second only to those of the Art Institute of Chicago-includes architectural fragments, over 200 renderings (line drawings, original drawings and presentation drawings), paintings, and personal effects. Important supporting collections of archival material include original correspondence from Wright, contemporary film and photography documenting the construction of Price Tower and related Price Company material. There are also examples by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Werner Panton, and Zaha Hadid, among others.

The Arts Center's exhibition program has also allowed it to begin developing a dynamic collection of contemporary art which aligns with the museum's mission to explore the intersection of art, architecture, and design, such as Robert Indiana's monumental sculpture Sixty-Six (2004) and numerous pieces by Dennis Oppenheim.
