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.

Get creative and submit your design with the entry form below!

Activities are made possible in part by the Community Foundation of Randolph County and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
