GAS Online Directory & Resource Guide

The GAS Online Resource Guide and Membership Directory is officially an online-only publication as of 2010. This 'yellow pages'-type directory is a reference that is used year-round, and includes all GAS Member contact information, and the ads for the manufacturers, suppliers, galleries, publications, schools, etc. that are important to you.

Similar to GASnews, visitors to the advertisement section will be able to click on each ad and be directed to the advertisers' websites. Resource Guide advertisers receive 10% off Journal advertising. Technical Display participants receive a 1/2 page Resource Guide ad as part of their package; full page upgrades are available for Technical Display participants (contact the GAS office for information on Technical Display.) Publication will be available online in September 2010.

If you represent a school or gallery, manufactur products related to glass art, or publish for the glass artist, collector, critic or curator, placing a half-page or full-page ad in this publication is a great opportunity to gain visibility for your program or product in a reference guide that will be used year-round by all GAS members. You do not need to attend the GAS conference to advertise in the Resource Guide.
