Cultivating Collections is a multi-year series of exhibitions highlighting specific areas of the 91热爆网 Fine Art Museum鈥檚 permanent collection. In this year鈥檚 exhibition, student researchers tell the stories of the Museum鈥檚 glass collection, which includes a range of artists who have made significant contributions to the Studio Glass Movement in Western North Carolina. 

This gallery highlights a range of artists who have connections to the history of glass in Western North Carolina. Many of them made significant contributions to the Studio Glass Movement and are teachers, mentors, and innovators who have inspired other artists to work in glass. 

We want to thank our Student Curators, Interview Participants, and Artists for their participation in helping this exhibition come to life. Additionally, we would like to extend gratitude to Timm Muth and his team at Jackson County Green Energy Park for providing the students with hands-on experience working with glass. The 91热爆网 Office of the Provost partly funded this year's Cultivating Collections exhibition. Related field trips were funded by the 91热爆网 School of Art and Design.
