The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA is combining a competition with a fund raising auction. Sounds like a good time for glass artists looking for a challenge. The Glass Quarterly blog brought this to my attention and I thought I’d share it with all of you, especially if you might be interested in applying. The deadline is June 2nd so hurry up. Entries will be selected for the auction and the top three will be awarded prizes. The grand prize receives $10,000, the New/Emerging artist receives $5,000, and the People’s Choice receives $2,500. Sounds like everyone wins…the museum, the artists and the party goers.
