Applying is yet another way artists can contribute to the continuance of BWAC!

The BWAC team has been searching Brooklyn to find a space to continue offering NYC artists and beyond a place to exhibit their work, foster professional development and continue the great community that BWAC has always supported for the past 48 years. We have a great offer in an amazing space we would love to sign the lease on but we need a last push to afford it! Please consider donating so we reopen permanently this September!

This piece is one of our member’s pieces featured in our upcoming member’s show, “New Beginnings.”

Renee Radenberg layered fused glass using glass powders, crushed glass and enamels.

She shared that she had accumulated numerous figure sketches before Covid, and decided to incorporate them into her glass practice.

Radenberg notes, “I had to experiment to create flesh color glass powders for these pieces. Discovering high fire enamels also allowed me to ‘paint’ glass which brought me back to my roots of painting/illustration when I first started my art journey.”

We love sharing some of the behind the scenes thoughts from our artists. If you’d like to see more work from Renee and others, be sure to support them by viewing our “New Beginnings” online show March 14th - April 26th.
