Studio Glass in Focus: Dialogue and Innovation

Sunday, September 23, 2012 to Sunday, April 14, 2013
Ratner Gallery

Marking the 50th anniversary of the studio glass movement in America, Studio Glass in Focus: Dialogue and Innovation showcases works of art in glass from the early pioneers of the studio movement—which began in 1962 in Toledo, Ohio—through today's artistic innovators. This focus exhibition highlights the dialogue between artists as teachers and students and how they influenced each other. On view are older works as well as works by artists who have forged new ground, revealing the innovative approaches of glass artists today.

The Cleveland Museum of Art is generously funded by Cuyahoga County residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture. The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this exhibition with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence, and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
