It was so good to celebrate the American Glass Guild’s 20th Anniversary conference in NYC/NJ! We are thankful for all that attended and went on bus tours of fabulous art glass, took workshops, participated in trivia night and other group activities, watched demos, went to visit our AGN exhibit, and listened to our awesome speakers! It was great seeing first-timers and those that have been coming to our conferences for years. It’s always great to talk to others who have a passion for glass art. Hope to see you all and others at next year’s conference in Dayton, Ohio!

The Paul Wissmach Glass Company Flat Glass Residency welcomes emerging through mid-career artists working in flat glass who are seeking dedicated time, space, and support to advance their artistic practice.

This residency is designed for glass artists exploring innovative approaches to flat glass, including stained glass, kiln-formed glass, mosaic, or mixed-media work, and experimental techniques that push the boundaries of the medium. This residency opportunity is designed to support artists whose work demonstrates a compelling artistic vision, technical curiosity, and a desire to investigate new processes, materials, or concepts.

Recognizing that access to specialized equipment and studio facilities can be a significant barrier, this residency prioritizes artists who have limited access to flat glass studios, equipment and resources in their home communities. The program provides an opportunity to work within a fully equipped studio environment while connecting with a vibrant community of artists and makers.
