8/3/2011  Glass  Roots : Collaborations with Matter

This exhibition includes works created by young artists, teaching artists and artist friends of GlassRoots.  The theme which runs through these works is the three states of matter. At its most elementary level, matter is anything that takes up space.  The states of matter refers to the three classical states that matter can take- gas, liquid and solid. Through a highly collaborative process, the works on exhibit here represent the artists’ attempt to interpret and reflect the unique qualities of glass and its ability to be transformed into expressions of themselves in one or more of these states.

Introducing Betty’s What Gives 365 project. Every day for 365 days, Betty Londergan is going to give $100 to causes, people, and organizations that she believe are doing good work and are worthy of support.   And every day, she writes about why she chose to give– which hopefully will inspire other people to give a few bucks of their hard-earned money, too.   She highlighted GlassRoots, Inc. on September 22, 2010.

Here is the link to her blog:  http://whatgives365.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/playing-with-fire/
