The Corning Museum of Glass is dedicated to supporting and encouraging artists who use glass as an artistic medium. Following are opportunities for artists at the Museum: * New Glass Review Submissions * Artist-in-Residence and Researcher-in-Residence Programs * Joint Artist-in-Residence Program with Kohler Arts Center. The Corning Museum of Glass (www.cmog.org) is home to the world’s most comprehensive and celebrated collection of glass, with more than 45,000 objects reflecting 3,500 years of glassmaking history. An independent, non-profit, educational institution, the Museum is dedicated to the art, history, science, research and exhibition of glass.

* New Glass Review Submissions

Artists, designers and architects may submit images of new works using glass for possible inclusion in the Museum’s annual journal, New Glass Review. Each year the Corning Museum publishes a survey of glass in contemporary art, architecture, craft and design created in the previous year by emerging and established artists.

Artists must submit a CD with three clearly labeled high-resolution digital images (slides and e-mailed images will not be accepted). Each image should illustrate one work or design series in glass created between October 1, 2009, and October 1, 2010. The application deadline for entries to the Journal is October 1, 2010.

All entries must be accompanied by a completed application and a $20.00 U.S. entry fee. See www.cmog.org for details or contact Violet Wilson at (607) 974-8451.
