Not Grandma's Glass

Not Grandma's Glass

#NGG is a yearlong competition exhibition celebrating its 3rd year promoting artists pushing glass. One per month.

For 2022 Habatat's yearlong competition exhibition titled Not Grandma’s Glass continues. The story goes when I (Aaron Schey) started my career at the gallery the topic of a client's collection would often arise. When family was brought up the collectors would mention that the artwork in their home was referred to by the next generation as “Oh that’s just Grandma’s Glass.”

This exhibition promotes
