VT Kids Design Glass Benefit Auction
The 12 sculptures featured in VT Kids Design Glass (see below) are being auctioned off to raise money for BMAC’s ongoing work with kids. Bidding opens Friday, November 4 and concludes during Gallery Walk on Friday, December 2 at 7:30 p.m. Each sculpture is a unique, original work of art by a professional glass artist, inspired by an original drawing and description created by a kid in grade K-8. Each glass artist created one replica of each sculpture, which was given as a gift to its kid-designer at the opening of the exhibit.
