The year 2024 was another amazing time for the members of GLANC! We connected at our monthly Day Tour events, visiting studios of glass artists, museum exhibitions, visits of world-class collections, and attended special gallery events.
Please work with us to continue these special programs by contributing to the GLANC Education Fund, which includes funding for our Scholarship Program. Your support allows us to:
- Provide educational opportunities for San Francisco Area artists. - Provide financial assistance to high-school students graduating and excelling in glass. - Provide financial assistance to individuals from underserved communities to further their education in glass. - Provide funding to non-profit glass organizations for educational programs and special projects.
