2016 Armadillo Art Glass Initiative

[Aymie]

It's official. The 2016 AAGI will take place in Austin on May 21-22 at St Elmo's Fire, a collective studio owned by Salt and Snic. Glassblowing demos, live music, food, beer, art vendors, industry vendors, graffiti artists and more.

Tickets available at the door. $15/day or $25/weekend ($20 with a donation TBD).

VIP passes will be available again this year for $600 ($500 for returning VIP). The VIP pass gets you full access to all the artists on the demo list and the industry reps, serving as a class type experience where you can pick the brains of the masters. Everyone who has purchased the VIP tickets in the past has been extremely happy with their experience. The VIP tickets are very limited so let me know if you ASAP if you are interested. Also, VIP tickets are tax deductible as a charitable donation.

In the last three years, we have raised over $85,000 for Meals On Wheels And More of Austin, and we have chosen to stick with them again this year. We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces and more again this year. This event gets bigger and better every year. You don't want to miss out.

Our demo list this year is growing by the minute. I will post updates as they come in.
