Bringing Back the Future Through Celebration is the theme for this season’s exhibition. The end of the year and the start of a new year hosts many special occasions for glass making. At celebrations, how does your glass artwork fit into these joyous occasions?
Gleaming Prospects will focus on showcasing Canadian glass art in all forms. The work can be functional or decorative, festive or contemplative, or all the above. We want to exhibit the creations you make that bring joy to the lives of others. We wish to highlight the many reasons why we make glass art. Self-expression, profit, charity, education, cause, or religious and cultural practices. The Glass Art Association of Canada invites you to share with the community why you do what you do.
This members’ exhibition focuses on emerging, mid-career, and established artists from across Canada who employs glass as their primary medium. Functional and conceptual work in all glass techniques is accepted, including but not limited to fusing, pate de verre, flameworking, kiln casting, hot casting, glass blowing, hot-working, lamination, carving, engraving, multimedia, and works with new technologies involving glass. Sorry, we are not accepting videos at this time.
Exhibited works will be regularly highlighted on social media for the duration of the exhibition
