Art Glass Association

The Art Glass Association is committed to helping art teachers of all ages and grades to bring the glass arts into their classrooms. By attending art and education conferences, the AGA's goal is to promote the glass arts as a curriculum choice across all grade levels.  The AGA and AGA retailers will then help support teachers' needs by providing inspiration and ideas at the conferences, hands on experiences, and access to the information, suppliers, and mentors needed to bring the excitement and beauty of the glass arts to students.

Attending 2011 Conferences:

Last year the Art Glass Association formally hosted a booth at the Art Education Association Fall Conference in Texas, Ohio, Washington. We had AGA teachers teaching fusing, mosaics and stained glass to art teachers in Texas and Washington.

This year we are growing in numbers and depth. We are attempting to teach classes and have a 'Make-it-and-take-it' booth in all five states. Look below to see how we could use your assistance.
