Glass Art Association of Canada (GAAC) Conference, Montreal (QC)

Dates: May 26-30, 2010

The Glass Art Association of Canada (GAAC) is a professional not-for-profit association, which serves to connect a geographically-diverse community of artists, designers, craftspeople, educators, curators, collectors, gallerists and students passionate about work made with glass. Our aim is to highlight excellence in Canadian studio glass through activities that are pertinent and accessible, and which promote communication, public education and appreciation, both in Canada and internationally. GAAC is a volunteer- and member-run organization.
