Call for Entries: BIGG

 BIGG: Breakthrough Ideas in Global Glass is a dynamic collaboration among The Ohio State University, OSU Glass Program, OSU Urban Arts Space, Hawk Galleries and Steuben Glass. Together we will discover and introduce to the public a select group of artists with a conceptual and working engagement in glass. These artists will have completed their formal training in art beyond the baccalaureate (MFA or equivalent) since the beginning of the new millennium. This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to advancing new and innovative glass art worldwide. Through an international juried selection process and critical writing about work in the field, we intend to expand the discourse about glass art globally.
This exhibition will be presented from July 10 through October 10, 2009 at the OSU Urban Arts Space and Hawk Galleries in Columbus, Ohio.
