As the starting date of the 2017 Festival of Glass approaches,
the event is raising its profile in local venues.
 |
| Glass art at Leura Park Estate |
Local wineries Leura Park Estate and Jack Rabbit. together
with the Clifton Springs Golf club are each hosting a presentation cabinet
(glass, of course!) containing pieces of glass art.
Equivalent cabinets will
appear soon at the Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, the Portarlington Golf Club
and Geelong City Hall.
Just a foretaste ...
Each cabinet offers a foretaste of the 2017 Festival of
Glass Expo, which happens at Drysdale’s Christian College on 19 February.

The
Expo will display the work of fifty glass artists and businesses, together with
the Annual Glass Art Awards, glass art exhibitions and short films about glass.
The Expo will also include the grand draw for the Festival’s Treasure Hunt,
with dozens of prizes to be won.
The Festival of Glass committee is grateful to these venues
for hosting the cabinets; we hope that their visitors enjoy the contents -
perhaps enough to want to see more!
