ABOUT THE EVENT
Sonoran Glass School is proud to present its annual Trading Places fundraising event. This is the organization’s most important fundraiser featuring new gallery displays, wine, food, and exciting live collaborative demonstrations between Tucson artists and SGS glass artists.
The evening is dedicated to raising money for the 501(c) 3 Sonoran Glass School and its educational glass art programs here in Southern Arizona. Browse gallery displays of one-of-a-kind works, available for purchase, created by this year’s Trading Places Artists. Enjoy catering by Feast, wine, refreshments, advanced glassblowing demonstrations, and the good company of people who support glass art education in Tucson.
This event is also a part of the National Endowment of the Arts initiative Big Read Connects Tucson, a celebration and exploration of Edgar Allan Poe and his work. Learn more at bigreadconnectstucson.org
