August 12, 2008, Solomons, Maryland – Glass artists are invited to apply to The National Capital Art Glass Guild for inclusion in a show titled, Celebrations! , that will take place at Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park & Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland, during the upcoming holiday season (November 2008-February 2009). Interested artists are asked to visit the Guild website at http://ncagg.org/welcome.htm to make contact. After making contact artists will receive application information.

Information

When it turns cold outside, the colorful and spectacular glass creations of Celebrations! will warm the spirit and put every visitor in the mood for the holidays. A variety of hands-on activities, music, and programs will complement the exhibit. An Ornament Show & Sale will coincide with Celebrations! offering opportunities for browsing and shopping, and beginning in mid-December, Annmarie Garden’s annual event Garden In Lights will add to the holiday festivities. Celebrations! is an excellent opportunity for glass artists to join the Guild and exhibit their newest designs.

The Guild is comprised of over one hundred artists who work in every aspect of glass. From massive stained-glass installations to bathroom sinks and mouth blown vessels, their creativity knows no bounds. Each artist is unique in their approach to glass so a showing of this group’s work is diverse, sometimes surprising, but always exciting. You never know what you will see.

The guild was established thirty years ago as the stained glass guild, but some years later the name was changed to art glass guild to include the various disciplines and materials the members were using. Members are primarily from Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, although a number of members live outside the tri-state area. Membership is open to anyone interested in glass.

The Exhibit will be held at Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park & Arts Center, a thirty-acre park that includes a beautiful new Arts Building, walking trails, and a Studio School. The thirty acre park is open daily, 9am – 5pm. The new Arts Building and the Gift Shop are open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am – 5pm; admission to the building is free for members, $3 for adults, $2 for seniors, and $2 for children; children under five are free. A terrific Toddler Zone located in the Arts Building is the perfect place to distract a fidgety toddler, or take the kids for a walk with one of the free scavenger hunts in hand. Annmarie Garden is conveniently located just off Route 2-4 on Dowell Road in Solomons, Maryland.
