Glass Art Kalamazoo is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in 2002 by a local group of glass artists. Its mission is to enrich the community by providing exceptional experiences in glass art. Classes are offered in glassblowing, lamp works, kiln fusing and sand blasting. While much of that work is done in its studios at the Park Trade Center on West Kalamazoo Avenue, Glass Art Kalamazoo also works with schools, nonprofit groups and businesses to educate the community in the glass arts.
