Glass Wing at FWMoA

November 5, 2022 - Ongoing

Fort Wayne Museum of Art

Fort Wayne, IN

​

In 2022, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art opened the Glass Wing, an expansive 3,000 square foot permanent gallery exhibiting a rotating selection of their nationally recognized glass collection. Over 100 pieces by international artists from the Studio Glass movement are on constant rotation.

​

I lead the research, design, curation, and interpretive text for the initial unveiling. A large part of this project was securing enough high-quality objects to fill and sustain the gallery. Through donor cultivation, artist studio visits, and auction recommendations, I assisted the museum in acquiring over half of their current collection, now the largest glass collection in the state.
