GAS Directory & Resource Guide

The GAS Directory & Resource Guide is a publication that combines the Resource Guide and the Membership Roster. This 'yellow pages'-type directory will include all GAS Member contact information, and the ads for the manufacturers, suppliers, galleries, publications, schools, etc. that are important to you.

If you represent a school or gallery, manufacture products related to glass art, or publish for the glass artist, collector, critic or curator, placing a half-page or full-page ad in this publication is a great opportunity to gain visibility for your program or product in a reference guide that will be used year-round by all GAS members.
