    ATTENTION GLASS ARTISTS:

    The Michigan Glass Project needs your art donations.

    The Michigan Glass Project is committed to bringing the glass community together. We are offering several ways for artists to participate in this year's event. This is our opportunity to build positive, lasting relationships within the glass community while at the same time donating money and resources to organizations in the Detroit area. The proceeds from our events this year will be donated to the Belle Isle Aquarium via the Belle Isle Conservancy (www.belleisleconservancy.org).

    We will have a receiving station set up at our main event, June 15th-17th, allowing you to simply bring your donations with you to the party. If you will not be attending our June event we will be accepting shipped donations to our offices arriving no later than June 14th. Donations can also be dropped off at The Urban Pheasant Glass Studio located at the Russell Industrial Center in Detroit. If you are having difficulties getting your donations to us please let us know so that we can assist you. Since we are a non-profit organization, you can deduct the value of your donated art from this year’s taxes!

    Our address is:
    The Michigan Glass Project
    150 Lange
    Troy, MI 48098

    The Michigan Project will be organizing a series of silent auctions, with the primary reception and auction being held at the Belle Isle Aquarium during the month of October. The proceeds from these events will go to the Belle Isle Aquarium. Your donated art will be photographed and promoted through our website and in our 2012 DVD. This is a terrific opportunity for artists to gain some exposure in the booming art scene here in the Midwest. We appreciate all the support that we can get and look forward to a great year in the ever-growing glass community.

    We want to encourage everyone to attend our event on June 15th-17th in Detroit where we will be collaborating on multiple aquatic themed pieces to be displayed and sold with proceeds going to the Belle Isle Aquarium. We will have several flame working stations set up at this event for artists to participate. This 3-day event is a great time to mingle with others in our glass community and we will be offering music, live painting, food, and drink. Keep checking www.themichiganglassproject.com for a schedule of events as we near the date of this grand event.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Sincerely,

    Kristen Key
    Artistic Donation Coordinator

    It's looking like we have one hell of a local roll call. Big ups to Michigan Crew.

    ^Crayven, Toledo is 40 minutes away from Detroit. We planned it to be the same weekend in hopes that we can expose the flameworking scene to some of the GAS demographic. Not only are we trying to strengthen our local community, but build a bridge between the different glass worlds. The line up is looking super tight. I really appreciate the offer for a "small" piece and looking forward to meeting you and seeing what you got.

    We are hosting two Michigan mini projects this month. The first is in conjunction with the Russell Industrial Center on Saturday, April 14th in a studio wide open house. Several dozen artists will have their studio doors open for demonstration and display of works for sale. The hours are from noon to midnight. We will be collaborating on public display and working on several pieces at once.

    The second is on April 20th from noon to midnight. We will be getting together without the public and busting out some serious pieces. Glassblowers of all medium and skill levels are encouraged to attend. We will be constructing pieces with an open forum for ideas and production styles. These events are created with the intent of strengthening our local glass community and expanding boundaries. Please join us. Works are to be donated to the Michigan Glass Project. Hit us up with a like on Facebook and get in the loop.
