The Slover Library has graciously agreed to host our Annual Members Exhibition again this year. The members show, Unlike our Annual Juried Exhibition, guarantees each member at least one piece on display. Last year's show and special GAS reception were hugely successful and we are looking forward to another great year!
UPDATE: The Virginia Glass Guild strives to keep fine art glass accessible to everyone. Therefore, we do not jury our Member Exhibitions, and every members is guaranteed entry. The VGG board of officers is proud to announce that in lieu of prizes awarded by a jury, our 2018 Member's exhibition will have a People's Choice Award, where anyone who visits the Slover Library can vote on their favorite piece. The Winner of the People's Choice Award will receive a SOLO SHOW at the Chrysler Vestibule in June!
