CAUCUS MEMBER TOUR OF NEW GLASS NOW

In-Person event at the Renwick gallery

caucus members only
Mary Savig, Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft, leads us through New Glass Now at the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery.

New Glass Now was organized by The Corning Museum of Glass to highlight work that best represented a diverse approach to glass today.  In 2018, it issued an open call for submissions to artists and designers from around the world, asking for works made in the previous three years. Anyone working in glass could apply, from novice hobbyists to the most famous artists, and all were given equal consideration. More than 1,400 individuals, collaborators, and companies submitted nearly 4,000 images of work.  A panel of thinkers, makers, and writers reviewed and chose 100 artworks that best represented glass today.

New Glass Now is the third iteration of a groundbreaking exhibition series. The two prior exhibitions, Glass 1959 and New Glass: A Worldwide Survey in 1979, catalyzed major changes in the glass field. The Renwick Gallery hosted New Glass: A Worldwide Survey in 1980. Today, as the Renwick continues to keep with the pulse of contemporary glass in the United States, New Glass Now once again highlights the dynamic, global field as it is today.
