GAS invites proposals for Tacoma 2022

The Glass Art Society (GAS) is celebrating its 50-year anniversary in 2022 with an international conference. The event will be held at Tacoma, Washington, in the USA from 18-22 May 2022 and conference proposals are invited now.

GAS will explore the past 50 years of glass and discuss what the next 50 years could hold for making, collecting and educating.

So, if you would like to take part, why not submit your conference proposal now? All applications should support GAS’s mission to “connect, inspire and empower all facets of the global glass community”.

Presentations can be in the form of: demonstrations (up to 2 hours) featuring hot, cold, flame and neon glassmaking; lecture/demonstrations (1.5 hours) combining a lecture, with pre-made materials, and a live demonstration; lectures (1 hour) for anyone from emerging artists to educators, established professional and curators; panels (1.5 hours) presenting innovative and unique topics by artists, experts and educators; and other formats, such as film, performance and workshops (up to 1.5 hours).

You do not need to be a member of GAS to submit a presentation proposal and you can be located anywhere in the world.
