View submission guidelines and instructions.

The Glass Art Society (GAS) invites artists to submit proposals for its 47^th GAS conference, to be held May 16 – 20, 2018 in Murano, Italy.
The 2018 GAS Conference, themed Il Percorso di Vetro – The Glass Path, will lead attendees through the winding path of the island’s remarkable history while exploring the future of glass and discovering the hidden routes connecting the conference venues. A selection of Murano’s glass factories and studios will provide the Glass Art Society with the incredible opportunity to use these facilities as venues for the conference. In order to accommodate this unique conference experience, we will be honoring their tradition and some programs that are usually featured at our conferences will not be included. As a result, we anticipate an extraordinary program emphasizing demonstrations with less focus on lectures.

The current Italian Steering Committee is comprised of artists and community art supporters Cesare Toffolo, Lucio Bubacco, Davide Salvadore, Marina Tagliapietra, Roberto Donà, Adriano Berengo, the Consorzio Promovetro Murano, and is led by glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra. The 2018 GAS conference is sponsored in part by the Berengo Foundation and the artists of the Italian Steering Committee.

The 2018 conference theme is Il Percorso di Vetro – The Glass Path. We invite individuals and groups to submit proposals for demonstrations, lectures, and panels in hot glass, flameworking, and coldworking. Proposals with content that highlight the theme may be submitted for consideration from now through Monday, March 6, 2017. Due to site logistics, a limited number of proposals will be accepted. We look forward to seeing you in Murano in 2018.
