Next year will be a major anniversary for contemporary studio glass in America. The movement will celebrate its fiftieth birthday in 2012 and the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass is currently putting together a large slate of events to commemorate the occasion. While the details regarding specific events are still being finalized, AACG has announced that they are currently accepting applications from institutions and organizations in need of support for special exhibitions and programming that commemorates this milestone. The first grant cycle wraps up September 1st, a second cycle ends March 1st and a final cycle (if needed) that ends next September. Applications for later grant cycles are being accepted on a rolling basis. Grants will be awarded until all available funds are distributed.
