One of our favorite activities is taking a moment to appreciate art through our visitors' eyes. Whether in the galleries or online, we hope you join us for a photo tour of New Glass Now at SAAM’s Renwick Gallery!
Since opening in October, New Glass Now has amazed visitors and challenged their expectations of what glass art is, and what it can do. The exhibition features innovative glassworks by artists, designers, and architects from around the world and is designed to highlight the breadth and depth of contemporary glassmaking. From more traditional technically skilled vessels and neon light creations to experiments in chemistry and performance artworks, expect the unexpected.
