Rising Talents in Kiln-Glass
Rising Talents in Kiln-Glass
The Bullseye Glass Company started the Emerge competition twelve years ago as a commitment to emerging artists working in kiln-formed glass. Emerge/Evolve 2014 features finalists from the Emerge 2014 competition alongside new work from former Emerge finalists showcasing the evolution of their talent. The exhibition will culminate its national tour at Bellevue Arts Museum, with an expanded edition that will include enlarged installations, additional works by selected artists, and a program of lectures and workshops.
Bullseye Glass Company is a small factory in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 1974 by three recent art school graduates. The organization promotes glass art around the world through its initiatives, which include developing new methods of glass fabrication, hand-fabricating colored glass for artists and architects, facilitating research and education in the field, and hosting collaborative artist residencies.
