The Norton Center for the Arts, William Wesley Peters and Frank Lloyd Wright
September – December 2019
In celebration of Centre College’s 200th anniversary, The Wright Angle explores the Norton Center’s distinct design and its relationship to architectural pioneers Frank Lloyd Wright and William Wesley Peters. The exhibit examines how Centre College partnered with the Taliesin Foundation, one of the 20th century’s most acclaimed architectural firms, to build its world-class performing arts venue/arts and learning organization in a small Central Kentucky town. In addition, discover other local and Kentucky-based buildings influenced by architects Wright and Peters.
Uncover the truth behind the legends and lore surrounding the Norton Center through this collection of photos, essays, exploration stations, walking tours and much more.
This exhibit is a love story to a building that, since 1973, has offered world-renowned, rich cultural presentations and excellent, arts-based classes for thousands of people annually.
— Steve Hoffman, Executive Director of the Norton Center for the Arts
