EVENTS, INCLUDING GREAT GLASS PUMPKIN PATCH, A COLLABORATION WITH THE BAY AREA GLASS INSTITUTE, IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT SERVES GLASS ARTISTS FROM THROUGHOUT THE REGION. A FOUR-DAY EXHIBITION OF THOUSANDS OF GLASS PUMPKINS SERVES AS THE BASIS FOR PROJECT LOOK! TOURS FOR LOCAL SCHOOL CHILDREN, AND A TWO-DAY SALE GENERATES SUBSTANTIAL REVENUE FOR THE ARTISTS INVOLVED AND BOTH PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THIS ACTIVITY WAS SUSPENDED DURING THE PANDEMIC.
