Thank you for your interest in submitting art to be included in the National Liberty Museum’s 2010 Glass Now Auction.  This annual event is a major fundraiser for the Museum’s anti-violence and character education outreach programs, drawing support from the glass art community, the primary art form featured in the Museum.

 

The National Liberty Museum is the only museum is the world that uses contemporary glass art for the purpose of celebrating freedom and defusing violence and hate. By incorporating glass art in exhibits on Civic Responsibility, Respect for Diversity, Peaceful Conflict Resolution and Heroism, we make the point that freedom is as fragile as glass and every citizen has the duty to protect it through his or her own actions. More than 500,000 students, families and visitors from across the country and around the world have visited the Museum since we opened our doors in 2000. We have been told that our message is changing lives, while creating a whole new generation of glass art enthusiasts.

When you donate artwork to the Museum's Glass Now Auction, you become a partner in our important mission. You also share your talent with over 500 seasoned and emerging collectors, plus many others who see our auction catalog in the months that follow.
