The 2015 UrbanGlass Gala is the principal fundraising event of New York’s UrbanGlass. UrbanGlass fosters innovative art and advances the use and appreciation of glass as a creative medium. The event helps support its studio for the more than 250 artists who make their work at UrbanGlass and helps fund its comprehensive education and scholarship programs.
The UrbanGlass community will honor longtime Board member and former Chairman Carl H. Pforzheimer III for his commitment and support to UrbanGlass and also honor acclaimed designer Lindsey Adelman.
The Gala will take place at 647 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY, beginning with cocktails and a silent auction in the Agnes Varis Art Center, followed by dinner and the live auction. UrbanGlass’ auctions feature a dynamic selection of works by luminaries of the glass and contemporary art worlds, including WGS’ Michael Janis.
The annual gala is UrbanGlass’ most important fundraiser of the year. Monday, May 18 from 6:30 to 11 PM is the 2015 UrbanGlass Gala & Auction! For additional information, please contact Rachel Feinberg.
