Imagine in Glass
November 16, 2024 – February 9, 2025
Imagine in Glass celebrates our region’s glass history in a unique way, by casting children as creative directors! Children are invited to unleash their creativity on the page while professional glassworkers from the Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass at Ball State University bring select drawings to life in glass. Discover what happens when we combine the skills of experienced artists with the unbound imagination of children.
