Free First Fridays with FIRED UP!
Join AACG every First Friday of the month for virtual programming that is free and open to the public. We are committed to community outreach and education and continue to provide a means for educational outreach through our FIRED UP! series.
Our next First Friday Fired Up! program is on August 1, at 1 PM ET, when AACG will present kiln-glass artist Carmen Vetter, who through the layering of various textures of glass frit and powder in multiple firings, forges elaborate glass arrangements that reflect her interest in both optical perception and artistic intuition. Register to attend.
