CONTINUUM: GLASS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION
Exhibition Date: January 14, 2017 to March 26, 2017
Reception Date: Saturday, January 14, 2017 - 2:00pm
This winter in the Benaroya Glass Gallery, we feature selections of glass from the permanent collection with an emphasis on continuum – of the medium of glass, of the continuity of forms, and of tradition through to innovation. The exhibit, titled Continuum: Glass from the Permanent Collection, will feature a variety of techniques for working with the medium of glass, including lampworking and stained glass. Artists exhibited include Dale Chihuly, Doris Chase, James Minson, Rick Decker, and Lisa Zerkowitz. Visitors will be able to observe themes that have persisted in glass as well as the transformation of the medium through innovation and new techniques.
