CONTEMPORARY GLASS SOCIETY – CALL FOR MEDALLIONS EXHIBITION
The Contemporary Glass Society (C.G.S.) invites its members to put their creative imaginations to work around the idea of the traditional Olympic medal for an exciting exhibition at the Ruskin Glass Centre. Medals have been awarded for the Summer Olympics since 1896, and have become a recognised symbol of achievement. This show gives CGS members a chance to celebrate and play with this traditional form. A key event in Glass Games – the C.G.S.’ nationwide festival of glass – the Medallions exhibition is officially part of the Cultural Olympiad, not to mention the International Festival of Glass. So get involved and get making! Every medal received by the deadline will be exhibited at the Ruskin Centre from August 22nd. to September 15th.. The medals will be on sale to the public for £50, £100 or £150. Commission from sales will provide essential funds for the C.G.S.’ professional development programme. Medals can be up to 15cm wide x 15cm high x 5cm thickness and must be made predominantly out of glass.
