The annual GAS Auction offers conference attendees and the public the opportunity to support GAS by donating and/or purchasing beautiful works of glass art. We encourage donations of collaborative glasswork, innovative and experimental one-of-a-kind creations, and those signature pieces that define an artist’s career. With so much wonderful work to bid on, and so much fun to be had, this is an event you won’t want to miss!


The GAS Auction has become one of the highlights of the annual conference, and we hope you consider donating a piece of your artwork, goods or services. Your donation helps subsidize half-price student fees and keeps all registration fees affordable. Expected to be the largest GAS auction ever, with many donors and buyers, it will also be a great opportunity for exposure of your work.

This year donating artists have the choice to give 100% to GAS, or to receive 25% or 50% of the selling price. Your donation will be on exhibit throughout the conference and acknowledged in the 2007 Glass Art Society Journal.


How to donate:

1. Contact the GAS office to obtain an auction donation form, or download the 2007 Auction Donation Form.

2. Complete and return the auction form with a high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) JPG of your piece, so we can include it in the Power Point presentation.
This also helps us in planning the display of the auction pieces.

3. Bring your donated piece to the conference. Drop it off at: Omni William Penn Hotel, Riverboat Room, Wednesday, June 6, 1-5 pm or Thursday, June 7, 9 am- 5pm.

4. If you want to ship your piece (at your own expense), contact the GAS office, at 206-382-1305, or email: info@glassart.org.


GAS is a non-profit organization funded by its own membership. We are counting on your support. Thank you!

Eligibility: The GAS Auction and Goblet Grab is open to all glass artists and suppliers; you do not need to be a member of GAS. Glass artists can submit one piece of artwork, all artwork must be designed by the artist. You do not have to attend the conference to donate, and donating work is a great way to support GAS if you aren’t able to attend.
