Glass Art Society

We may have just wrapped up in Berlin, but it is time to start preparing for next year’s GAS conference!

Join members of the global glass community as we take the innovations of the present and transform them into the glassmaking traditions of the future! At the world-class facilities at the University of Texas at Arlington, conference attendees will have a unique opportunity to enjoy presentations that cover every facet of glassmaking in conversation with other artistic materials like prints and metal. The Arlington-Fort Worth glass community is a tight-knit network of glass organizations dedicated to uplifting each other, promoting all forms of diversity and inclusion, and exploring the latest innovations in glassmaking. Whether you want to present a hot demonstration or lecmo showcasing new technologies, we want to see YOUR presentation proposals for our Texas 2025 conference! The conference will take place from May 14–17, 2025 in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas. Our theme, Trailblazing New Traditions, reflects what our conference site is all about: how we can make the innovations of the present into the glassmaking traditions of the future.
 Proposals close on July 14, 2024, at 11:59 pm PDT!
