Form & Function
International Online Glass Exhibition by Contemporary Glass Society

Form & Function invites glass artists from anywhere in the world to explore how appearance and purpose inform one another. The exhibition aims to discuss where beauty meets utility: how vessels, objects, or functional forms can also carry emotion, narrative, or atmosphere.
Artists are encouraged to consider how craftsmanship, material understanding, and intention converge in their work, and to submit pieces that either embrace functionality, question it, or expand its possibilities.

Deadline for Applications - 12th January 2026

Exhibition goes live - 19th January - 16th March
