The Glass Virus was founded to stimulate the discussion about the future status of education in the field of glass art and strives for a new interpretation of glass in arts and design. Think Tanks are organized every two years and are for now the core activity of the Glass Virus. Our ambition is to create an internationally operating platform that focuses on expanding the strategies in glass art education. We are convinced that advanced communication, exchange of expertise and an open educational structure will improve the potential of glass in arts and design.
