SPECIAL EVENTS

Since 1979, the Corning Museum of Glass has published its annual New Glass Review, which documents new work in glass art, architecture, craft, and design. This year an international jury selected artwork submitted from 888 artists from over 43 countries - making a total of over 2,500 submissions for consideration. The jury included Jon Clark, Professor, Tyler School of Art; Rosa Barovier Mentasti, art historian, curator and critic, Venice, Italy; Zesty Meyers, owner, R20th Century, New York, and Tina Oldknow, Curator of Modern Glass, Corning Museum.

Congratulations to our Michael Janis on his work being selected by the jury- this is his second year in a row that his artwork was in the New Glass Review 31! The publication is due out in late May.

Michael is a very busy artist! Michael was just won the 2010 Saxe Fellowship award honoring outstanding technical ability and achievement in glass. The Bay Area Glass Institute in California announced the award at their annual Glass Gala in San Jose this month.
