Saturday, November 2 was the opening day for the Glass Art Guild of Utah’s Annual Glass at the Garden show and sale at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. This year, 37 of the guild’s artists are participating, and on opening day, there were over 1000 pieces of beautiful fused glass art!
The opening reception was lively with visitors who came to admire the glass, perhaps purchase items for themselves or for holiday gifts, and to congratulate the artists who were recognized this year for their amazing talent and creativity.
The show runs through December 17 and is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. Admission to the glass show is free of charge.
Below, you’ll find photographs of this year’s award winning art. Congratulations Artists!
