Exhibition “It’s In The Word”
“Words, words, words! All our lives we use words to express ourselves, to tell stories, to make deals, in love and in anger. We lie, we joke, we make promises and even thump our political soapbox. How do you use words in your work? Do you start with words in a title and take inspiration from them or actually write within your glass? ”.
For this exhibition 50 glass artists share their ideas with us.

Exhibition ¨Patterns: Composition and Design"
A pattern is an arrangement of lines or shapes, especially a design in which the same shape is repeated at regular intervals over a surface. Patterns exist all around us.
We can find a pattern in the trees, in passing cars, ice crystals, in our thought processes or in our clothes. A pattern is also an arithmetic sequence, regularity in the world, in human-made design or in abstract ideas.

Exhibition Cycles of Life
From the smallest microbe to the biggest animal on earth – the Antarctic blue whale – we all experience the cycle of life from birththrough to death. Shakespeare wrote about the 7 ages of man – the infant, the schoolboy, the lover, the soldier, the justice, the pantaloon and old age.
The rhythm of life has a powerful beat so we invited CGS members and glass artists to show us their journey through the natural world. Even their glass pieces go through a cycle of creation!
37 Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) Members took up the invitation – and here we show you what they produced!

Exhibition Spring Awaits......
The Contemporary Glass Society present the exhibition Spring Awaits...
A new year is upon us and we can start to look forward to those longer days, light breezes and sunny days of Spring.
Spring – a word that conjures up gambolling lambs, crocuses breaking through the earth, trees dressed in greenery so bright it almost dazzles the eye and a gentle rise in temperature. Brightening up the gloomy months of winter.

Exhibition Creativity, Fusion and Passion
“Creativity, Fusion and Passion” represents the visual testimony of the powerful union between creativity, technique and passion that are manifested in the glass works of art presented in this exhibition.
Each of these creations reflects the ingenuity and artistry of 48 artists from 17 countries, whose unique perspectives have resulted in a diverse and fascinating collection. From fragility to solidity, from transparency to opacity, each piece is presented as a window to the wealth of possibilities that glass offers.
The transparency of glass allows light to penetrate and play with shapes and colors, creating effects that change with every movement and observation.

NATURE REFLECTED IN THE GLASS
Exhibition CAMINOS
Caminos is an exhibition that invites us on a journey through the world of glass art, from Altman's point of view and inspiration.
Her artworks are usually inspired by the universe and nature, appeal to different forms and textures in a context in which different tones and nuances complement each other to produce unique pieces.
We can notice in her works the presence of geometric and abstract forms, which come together in her own style, as eclectic as it is avant-garde.

The year 2022 is the International Year of Glass and the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Museum of Glass Art of Alcorcón-MAVA.
Uniting both events, this Ibero-American Congress was organized around women in glass, artists and scientists, whose objective is to establish bridges between professional women who work in glass, listen to experiences in which ingenuity makes up for the lack of inputs, provide tools to improve work and facilitate the conjunction between both worlds (art and science), which he believes are so far away but are not so far.
