Our Calendar of GLANC Events will keep you updated on the monthly activities, organized and funded by GLANC, that are available for FREE for our members.
We have two main categories of events: Day Tours and Maestro Events.
The Day Tours are day trips that include exclusive visits to artist studios, tours of incredible private collections, visits to glass exhibits, and more.
We also have 3 Maestro Events per year. Our Maestro Series is a Visiting Artist Program that brings in visiting artists from all over the world, to provide a private presentation and/or glass blowing demonstration exclusively for our group.
Our trips to Museums may have a small fee for entry, but will be offered at an exclusive discount for our members.
If you are not a member of GLANC yet, and have questions about joining, please contact glancinfo@comcast.net for further information.
