ACTIVITIES WE HAVE UPCOMING OR ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND IN THE FUTURE:
Each January, we participate in the Cheyenne Botanical Gardens Glass Show. It's a wonderful way to help Wyoming fill its gardens with incredible art. 2025 marked the show's 41st year. Lois Rentz does a fantastic job of organizing this each year.
We are in the process of getting our drawings for ARTMA 2026! Every other year, local childhood cancer patients share their art with our group, and then we translate their art into glass pieces. We start working on these 6 months before ARTMA. This is a fantastic way to raise awareness and funds for research. More information is forthcoming in our monthly meetings.
Our Summer Picnic is a great way to meet other glass artists in the group, and of course, it is lots of fun. It's usually held in June.
Holiday Party -- Always a fun time filled with great food and a glassy gift swap. We typically hold this in December.
Lakewood Art Center (LAC) Glass Show - We have been invited to hold a show at the LAC in 40 West in August. Members are in the process of creating for this show. More information can be found in our newsletter and meetings.
Echter’s Garden Center “Glass At The Gardens”. This is an annual show and our 21st year doing it. It's held in November to kick off the holiday season.
💡 We do something fun every meeting. If you have an idea of something you would like to know more about (techniques, etc.) or questions about opportunities, or help with a current project, please let Deborah know so she can investigate and bring it to the attention of the group. We all like to learn new things and expand our knowledge of glass.
