In 2013 the Creative Glass Center of America (CGCA) at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center celebrates three decades of support for artists and craftspeople working in glass. Since 1983, over three hundred fellowship recipients have conceived and executed artistic ideas and objects at the CGCA, benefiting from the facilities, financial support and creative environment provided by WheatonArts. “Wheaton Glass: The Art of the Fellowship” provides only a glimpse into the work created through and inspired by the CGCA fellowship program.
This invitational exhibition, curated by Diane Wright and Tina Aufiero, illustrates the wide variety of glass created by this diverse group of international artists, many of whom remain linked by their fellowship experience.
