Calls for Submissions

Presentations

Each year the ISGB sends out calls to teach and present at our annual conference, "The Gathering".  While the ISGB focuses on its members, this is an opportunity for both members and non-members to share their skills and promote the art.  The ISGB also sends out a call to members for Commemorative Bead submissions.

  • Commemorative Bead Submission - members only  Each year the ISGB supports an artist by purchasing and selling a bead that represents the artist's style as a commemorative bead to our Gathering attendees.
  • Call for Presenters  no membership required  The Gathering hosts a series of educational presentations that are not limited to glass.  These may be complementary mediums, as well as topics of professional developmental and business education among artists and craftspeople.
  • Call for Instructors no membership required  The Gathering offers a variety of workshops that are based on current trends and industry interest. These workshops are not limited to torch-based work.
  • President's Collection no membership required  At the end of each ISGB president's term, they look at the entire glass community and choose pieces that represent the current market trends and advancements in glass.  These magnificent pieces are submitted to the Corning Museum of Glass, thereby promoting both the artists and the medium.
  • Postcard Project no membership required   Each year we call for postcards from artists around the world to create a collection that is sought after as a keepsake and relevant to the artists' advancements of the year.  This is a great opportunity to see your own growth as well as the industry's.
  • Exhibitions members only  The ISGB has hosted many exhibitions over the years, elevating the art of glass.  Visit past exhibitions to see the amazing work of our members.  (Coming soon)
