A Day of Art, Glass, and Connection

 
A Day of Art, Glass, and Connection

Join us for a one-of-a-kind day celebrating creativity and community. Enjoy private studio experiences, live glassblowing, delicious bites, and an intimate reception—all in support of the Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI) and the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation (PAACF).

Special Perk: Guests will receive an invitation to early shopping for upcoming events.

Hosted by BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation (PAACF), this intimate, behind-the-scenes experience starts with Live Glassblowing Demos & Brunch Bites @ BAGI followed by a Private Studio Visit with Artist Demetra Theofanous & Dean Bensen, and concludes with a Tour & Reception at BAGI Board President Steven Aldrich’s home, featuring charcuterie and curated wines.

Reserve your spot & you will receive an email confirmation with addresses and parking information of locations.

Space is limited to 20 guests. RSVP early to secure your place for this rare behind-the-scenes art experience.
