Benefitting the greater Buffalo community through the sharing and preservation of the stained-glass treasures of Trinity Episcopal Church.
Completed in the 1880s, the windows at Trinity Church of Buffalo have inspired and educated generations through the unique and beautiful stories they tell. This is one of only three places in the world where renowned artists Louis Comfort Tiffany and John LaFarge worked side-by-side. Their twenty-one glowing windows testify to the birth of a new movement in stained glass.
Stained glass is often mistaken for a dying artform. But these windows give us an opportunity to keep the story of Buffalo and its role in the history of American arts and crafts alive. The magnificent windows illuminate the birth of a new approach to an old artistic medium, but they can do so much more in the time to come.
The Center of Glass & Light is a nonprofit organization that exists to preserve this legacy and tell the story of the birth of a new kind of stained glass.
