In anticipation of the International Festival of Glass 2026 coming to The World of Glass this summer, we are excited to bring ‘Glass Muse’ to the Godfrey Pilkington Gallery’.
Glass Muse will bring exhibition opportunities for Local, National and International artists to submit new pieces of work to be selected for exhibition ahead of the festival.
Glass Muse exhibition will ask artists to respond to specially selected, rarely seen objects taken out of storage from the Pilkington Glass Collection here at The World of Glass.
These works vary in their story yet have the potential to inspire a wider dialogue.
We are excited to display these rarely seen objects within the World of Glass Museum, where we invite interested artists to visit and be inspired, alternatively photographs of these objects will be available to view online at www.worldofglass.com
We are looking for submissions in all mediums. Submissions should include a good quality photograph of your work along with a Statement of Inspiration.
A £10 handling and admin fee will be charged to artists upon selection of work due at the time of artwork drop-off.
Submissions should be sent via email to exhibitions@worldofglass.com
Deadline : by midnight Tuesday 7th April.
