Twenty-six national and international claimed artists from western North Carolina participated in this invitational show. Gallery Executive Director Silvana Foti and artist Kate Vogel had been working together for more than a year to organize this special exhibition and bring it to Methodist. Western North Carolina is home to many glass artists and has a strong art community. The show featured more than 60 different pieces of glass art.

"Glass is working with light - to me light is about life"
- John Littleton

When considering artists and works for the show, Foti and Vogel looked for artists who would engage students and the general public, to put together a show of top-quality work in a variety of styles that show the breadth of what is possible with glass.
