Glass Art Exhibition Gallery
Our Glass Exhibition Gallery in Minneapolis, MN, is a venue for contemporary glass art intended for themed, solo, or group exhibitions organized by internal and external curators. The exhibitions present work that offers contemporary discussion in all aspects of glass making. The exhibition space allows for high-end item display, unconventional installation, performance, multimedia works, and non-commodity items. The gallery embraces the broader art community by collaborating with organizations to host other artistic mediums. Exhibits are free to view and are open during our Gallery Hours.
