Event Description The 29th Annual Glass Exhibition returns as our most anticipated and luminous exhibition of the year, celebrating the breathtaking beauty and boundless creativity of glass art. Regional, national, and international artists come together to share their masterful creations, each piece a testament to the magic of fire, light, and imagination. From the fluid elegance of blown glass to the precision of casting, the vibrant layering of fused works, and other innovative techniques, this show reveals the infinite possibilities within the medium. Every sculpture, vessel, and installation tells a story — capturing moments of fragility, strength, and transformation. From Stone to Light, explores the profound intersection of glass art and mental well-being. It celebrates the unique alchemy of the medium—how sand and earth transform through patience and fire into vessels of light, a striking mirror for human resilience, healing, and connection. Guest curated by Kazuki Takizawa of KTGlassworks.

Opening Days
Event Description Blood Memory is a major exhibition that examines how ancestral knowledge and cultural memory continue to shape the present through contemporary art practices. The exhibition centers the work of regional artists from Native nations and Indigenous communities who consider how ancestral knowledge and lived experience are passed on across generations. Through installation, painting, sculpture, film, photography, fashion, and design, the exhibition presents inheritance as an active and sometimes unsettled process. Histories may be preserved, questioned, reclaimed, or understood anew. The exhibition takes its title from a term developed across the writing of Kiowa author N. Scott Momaday. In his work, memory can extend beyond the limits of an individual life. It may emerge in an intuitive recognition of place, in an ancestral story felt with the force of personal memory, or through relationships sustained by language, oral tradition, imagination, and land.

Event Description “Altered Echoes begins with the idea that what returns is never exactly what left. Across dreamlike spaces, familiar forms recur and shift – vines echo threads and wires, flowers bloom alongside bones, and human emotions surface through creatures, bodies, and imagined forms. Beneath it all is a tension between growth and decay, connection and separation, and the things that feel instinctive even when they can’t quite be explained. An echo is recognizable because something of the original persists, but it is also changed by distance, time, and what it encounters along the way. These paintings live somewhere in that space between continuity and transformation.” - MEGAN TSAI
