Virginia Guild and Charlotte Potter Exhibition

This year The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center will honorably host The Virginia Glass Guild 28th Annual Juried Exhibition.

This annual exhibition provides the opportunity for artists to gather for educational and support purposes. 2015 will bring Virginia’s finest glass artists, professional and non-professional, to display their work adding a sparkling luminescence to the Arts Center just in time for the holiday season. This exhibition has grandiose artwork that is sure to impress! Nearly 100 works by 40 glass artists from across the state of Virginia are now beautifully displayed. Diane C. Wright, the Barry Curator of Glass at the Chrysler Museum, selected and presented $3,750 in cash awards and scholarships. The Virginia Glass Guild 28th Annual Juried Exhibition will be on display at the Charles H. Taylor Arts Center until January 24.
