(WKYT) - On West Main Street in Danville sits a stately, old, two-story building with arched windows that originally was a US Post Office. Above the front door in big block letters, it says “Federal Building.”
Today, it’s home to the Art Center of the Bluegrass. As you walk inside, off to the right, there are a dozen or so glass art creations on display. They are the work of Stephen Rolfe Powell, considered one of the world’s finest glass artists. Powell taught glass art at Centre College for 34 years before passing away in 2019. He left behind a collection of glass art that has travelled around the world to amaze and inspire art lovers.
Laura Elwyn is the Executive Director of the Art Center of the Bluegrass.
