The Arts Commission 1838 Parkwood Ave • 419.254.2787 • www.theartscommission.org The Toledo Museum of Art has had a glass studio in one form or another since 1962. The Glass Pavilion, completed in 2006, allowed TMA to expand the glass studio as prominent part of the museum experience. The glass studio facilitates thousands of hours of programming each year, and all of these activities rely on the dedicated work of a small group of individuals who are, in fact, all artists themselves. This exhibition focuses on those individuals who support and facilitate the TMA glass community through their studio stewardship. It is an occasion to showcase their creative endeavors as artists. Curated by Jeff Mack. June 13 – 16: 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. Extended hours during the Gallery Hop (until 10:30 pm). † * Paula Brown Shop See entries under Hawk Gallery.
