Nearly 1,000 K-12 students took part in our education programming in 2019. From handcrafting their own artwork in our glassblowing studio to building unique mosaics during weekly lessons at local public schools, our youth programming presents accessible opportunities for kids to discover new creative outlets and expand their critical thinking. Your contribution at any level provides specialized tools and supplies needed for off-site classes, scholarships for summer camp workshops, STEAM lessons from professional artists and dazzling demonstrations across our 17,000 square foot studio. You can encourage the next generation of great artists and thinkers by making a gift toda!

Our public-access studio and Agnes Varis Art Center serve as platforms for artists at all points in their careers, from emerging to established, to push the boundaries of their glass practice and connect with the community. This summer, the New York Times reviewed Monica Cook's Above and Below as a must-see exhibition in New York City. It was only one year ago that Cook first discovered her love of flameworking through our Visiting Artist Fellowship, a program that offers the time and resources needed for artists with no prior experience with glass to experiment with the unique material. Your support provides accessible platforms for the creation and presentation of groundbreaking works. Help us to continue fostering the creative growth of artists and encourage public discourse by making a contribution at any level.
