Fuel Our Desire to Create
Something Meaningful

Give to the Museum of Glass 2025 Annual Fund

At Museum of Glass, we believe that within each of us lies a deep desire to create something meaningful. Our goal is to ignite the imaginations of our visitors, leaving them inspired long after their time in the Museum. Initiatives like our Visiting Artist Residency Program are at the heart of this goal. Visiting Artist residencies offer a rare opportunity for visitors to witness live glassmaking by both emerging artists exploring new techniques and renowned masters pushing the boundaries of their craft. For the artists, a Hot Shop residency fosters experimentation, often leading to groundbreaking new work.

Each year, Museum of Glass dedicates significant funding to Hot Shop operations, a commitment made possible by the generosity of donors like you. Your support ensures that we can continue offering these transformative experiences to artists and audiences alike.

This spring, we aim to double our Annual Fund goal of $30,000 to raise $60,000 toward our mission at Museum of Glass: to ignite creativity, fuel discovery, and enrich lives through glass and glassmaking. With recent cuts to federal funding for the arts paired with rising operational expenses, Museum of Glass is counting on supporters like you, who value the importance of programs like our Visiting Artist residencies.

Donating today means: 

  • Increasing visitor accessibility to innovative Museum programs 

  • Broadening youth field trip and hands-on capabilities 

  • Expanding our Visiting Artist Program and uplifting new and emerging artists 

  • Maximizing imaginative exhibition experiences

Your generosity makes a world of difference in bringing glass art to life, inspiring the diverse communities we serve.
