Guest curator Joel O'Dorisio currently teaches at Bowling Green University. He describes the exhibition which he organized as a "retrospective exhibition of glass art work starting from the mid 1980's through to the present. Pieces on display represent a comprehensive range of contemporary glass art and demonstrate a variety of techniques and purposes." Glass art for this exhibition will be shipped from New York, California, Nebraska, Washington, D.C., and Kansas, as well as from locations in Ohio. |
