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 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.
