Each year The Corning Museum of Glass receives approximately 1,000 submissions from 50 countries around the world from artists aspiring to be selected for New Glass Review, the annual exhibition-in-print that has been continuously in print since 1980. Curator of Postwar and Contemporary Glass Tami Landis was featured on the fourth edition of Glass Quarterly LIVE!, a recording of which is available for viewing at our YouTube video podcast page. In the hour-long episode, Landis discussed the origin story, history, and latest edition of New Glass Review. She also answered questions about how applicants hoping to be included in the 2026 edition, New Glass Review #46, can put their best foot forward.
With the deadline to apply for entry for the next edition of New Glass Review rapidly approaching on January 13, 2026, Landis gave a number of practical tips, from not using a high resolution camera and don't rely on your phone to photograph your work. She also discusses the importance of an artist statement, which helps in the decision-making process. Landis even pulled back the curtain on the process of finding visual connections between the featured work, which is presented not alphabetically by artist, as had been done, but by aesthetic harmony, an innovation introduced by Landis's predecessor Susie Silbert. Also continuing is the commentary on each work, which was first seen in Silbert's "New Glass Now" exhibition catalogue from 2019, which reprised the famous survey exhibition, Glass 1979, forty years earlier.
In the episode, Tami reviews the 45-year history of New Glass Review, which grew out of the aforementioned Glass 1979 exhibition, with the idea of an annual exhibition in print to keep up with the many fast-moving developments of those years of ferment and rapid progress, both technical and conceptual. She also discussed how the survey exhibition 1959 set the stage for the "1979 New Glass Worldwide Survey," which birthed the first New Glass Review in 1980.
