More than 80 artists and glass enthusiasts will present in Toledo. The presentation format varies: lectures, lec-mos, panels, and demonstrations in coldworking, hot glass, and flameworking.

Below are a few of the highlights. Click to view the full list of Toledo Presenters or here to view a photo gallery of artwork by our presenters.

Each year the Glass Art Society selects a few emerging artists to present lectures at its annual conference. Through these lectures, artists with promising talent are afforded the opportunity to introduce their work to a large audience of established artists, educators, peers, collectors, art historians, and critics. Click to learn more about this year's emerging artist presenters. Determined by a jury in February 2012.

Gallery owners, curators, educators, and artists will be available to review portfolios of GAS conference attendees. Reviews will last 10 - 15 minutes each. Artists should bring a portfolio of images of recent work either digitally on their own laptop or as color photographs, as well as printed copies of their artist statement, biography, and resume/CV.

Biographies and availability of the reviewers will be posted online in March or as known. Learn more on the Portfolio Review page.
