GET INVOLVED!
There are many opportunities to get involved with the GAS conference, and to contribute to keeping GAS a vital, growing organization. GAS counts on your support!
5th International Forum for Glass Organizations
Wednesday, June 6, 3- 3:45 pm
Omni William Penn Hotel, Three Rivers Room, William Penn Level
We’d like to extend an invitation to all international GAS member glass organizations to send one or two representatives to participate. Anyone interested in becoming an international liaison will also be welcome.
Following the 1st International Forum, an e-group was created as a means of communication for glass organizations. If you would like to participate in networking/sharing international issues:
1 Write to info@glassart.org to request an e-group invitation.
2. Send your ideas to the e-group. Issues raised from the e-group will be discussed at the forum in Pittsburgh. Your ideas and comments are appreciated.
3. Bring your ideas to the forum: How do you think international glass organizations could best liaise to benefit all? What form could such a network take? What opportunities could come from such interaction (i.e. artist-in-residence exchanges, studio exchanges, information sharing, etc.)?
