✨ Calling all glass artists! ✨

The Contemporary Glass Society is hosting an exciting international online exhibition: “A Sense of Place” — and you are invited to showcase your work! Any glass technique is welcome. 🌍

⏳ Deadline: June 20th
🌐 Exhibition live: July 7th
🎤 Meet the Makers talk: TBC

What does “sense of place” mean to you? Is there a special location that sparks deep emotions or memories—joyful or eerie?
It’s all about how we experience and connect with places, how they shape us and how we shape them. Your piece can reflect your identity, your community, and your place in the world.
