Reimagining what an art center can be.  The Art Center is enduring a major expansion project with a 3.7-million-dollar campaign.  We will generate new cultural opportunities for community members and visitors alike, while dramatically transforming the region’s creative arts ecosystem. Our vision for 415 W. Main is to expand the Art Center’s dynamic and inclusive arts community while preserving the legacy of Danville’s internationally famous glassmaker Stephen Rolfe Powell.

Project Goals

Preserve a large, historic, structurally sound but declining building in the center of Danville by transforming it into a vibrant, active center for the arts.

Establish a glass museum that will honor the extensive artistic legacy of Stephen R. Powell, that will attract visitors from around the state and glass enthusiasts from around the world.

Establish a glassblowing studio and educational programming to share both the history of glass and its contemporary artistic applications.

Double the footprint and space of the Art Center of the Bluegrass, allowing for a needed expansion of art programs, private studios, the gift gallery etc.
