Prestigious Glass Art Society Chooses St. Pete for 2019 Conference

Prestigious Glass Art Society Chooses St. Pete for 2019 Conference

The 2019 GAS Conference, themed Charting a Course: Visions in Glass will explore the new energy of St. Petersburg and the Florida Gulf Coast, from Sarasota to Tampa, offering a new perspective on future directions in glass for the GAS Conference March 28-31, 2019. Sun – Sand – Sea – St. Pete!

This is a huge accolade for the St. Pete arts community. “St. Petersburg is a city of youthful, vibrant arts communities and dynamic change, as well as famous fine white sandy beaches. With an average citizen age of 39, the city has benefited from the migration of forward-thinking entrepreneurs, artists, and businesses attracted by its livability. It’s a glass-loving town as attested by the Chihuly Collection, the Morean Arts Center and hot shop, Imagine Museum, Duncan McClellan Gallery and hot shop, and the Zen Glass Studio, all within 2 miles of each other,” says the Glass Arts Society  (GAS).in their release.
