Calling all art-lovers!
THIS
Saturday, June 16th marks the beginning of Part II: Master Glass
Invitational, an exhibition in celebration of the works of Dale Chihuly showcasing 31 nationally known glass artists and
emerging talents from Texas- and we couldn’t be happier that it kicks off at our very own Ro2 Art Gallery, right here in West Village! The gallery will be hosting the Opening Reception THIS Saturday, June 16th
from 6:00-9:00 PM, where anyone can mosey on in and visit with the artists, enjoy a
glass of wine, and admire some amazing glass work.
In case you haven’t heard of
Master Glass 2012, it is a three-part celebration of glass in its many forms by artists
from the Dallas area. The 31 artists were all
spotlighted at 12 different Dallas galleries during Part I. Now, in Part II, the artists have selected their favorite piece to be displayed at Ro2 Art Gallery. From etched glass and stained glass, to kiln-fired glass and
beyond, expect to see unique glass work in all different forms, shapes,
and sizes. I even took a sneak peak at the gallery earlier today and let me tell
you- prepare to be amazed!
The exhibition is brought
together at the height of the glass movement as this year marks the 50th
anniversary of the American Glass Studio Movement that was launched in 1962 in
Toledo, Ohio. Previously, glass had not been widely recognized as an actual art form.
However, throughout the country people are now beginning to recognize it as a medium, and now
Dallas is a part of this national conversation, highlighting local artists from
the area. Although the Invitational lasts until July 15th, the real fun will be THIS Saturday night for the Opening Reception at Ro2 Art Gallery and celebrate it all coming together. See you there!
