Black Glass Artists Series
The series is the brainchild of third-year B.F.A. student Adeye Jean-Baptiste from Scarsdale, NY. Last year, Adeye proposed to host a series of visiting glass artists who hail from the afro diaspora. She led efforts to gain funding to support the series, including organizing an auction. The series is also supported by the School of Art and Design, and its Sculpture Dimensional Studies Division, Student Senate, The Institute for Cultural Unity, and Olympic Color, a glassblowing supply company in Seattle, WA.
