Please join us for a celebration of Nancy Callan: Forces at Play at Museum of Glass.

Seeing glass through the eyes of Nancy Callan is a delight, and experiencing the material through her work is a master class in the artistic process. Her elegant, playful designs are inspired by a seemingly limitless visual vocabulary and executed with extraordinary technical expertise. Nancy Callan: Forces at Play, Callan’s first museum survey, invites visitors to experience the multitude of ways Callan has used hot glass as a canvas for her perspectives on the world around her.

This celebration and artist reception will feature a cash bar and light bites during a Q&A with Callan and Museum of Glass Curator Katie Buckingham. Callan will reflect on the exhibition, her career, and where her artistic practice will take her in the future. Following the Q&A, please join Nancy and our team on a tour of the exhibition.

This event is included with Museum admission and free for Museum Members. See the full evening schedule below. Admission may be purchased ahead of time through the button below. Museum Members: please RSVP to Kristyn Kuehn at kkuehn@museumofglass.org or 253.284.2126.
