Kaleidoscope

The Duke Energy Convention Center, ArtWorks, and Brazee Glass Design partnered to create Kaleidoscope, a glass installation of butterflies that adorns the Convention Center’s café and atrium.

ArtWorks Youth Apprentices worked under the guidance and mentorship of the artists of Brazee Glass Design to produce each unique glass piece. The term “kaleidoscope” has multiple meanings. It is a large gathering of butterflies, often those in migration, as well as a playful object that enables viewers to see different perspectives of glass shapes and patterns.

Inspiration for the kaleidoscope concept was drawn from the Convention Center itself – a space where people from all over the world and region gather together, acquire knowledge, exchange information, and return home with a new found perspective.
