The Michigan Glass Project presents

"DEGENERATE ART: THE ART AND CULTURE OF GLASS PIPES"
A Film By: M. Slinger

Movie Trailer: http://www.degenerateartfilm.com/trailer.html

"Degenerate Art" tells the story of glass pipe-making from the origins of the "color-changing" pipe, to the radical emerging art movement it has become today. Despite federal laws, pipe-makers have created a whole new genre of American folk art. A huge multi-million dollar industry has formed around this taboo culture. This subversive art challenges our right to free speech and expression, as well as reflecting the nature of the people who make and collect the pieces. One of the last true underground American scenes, glass pipe art remains invisible to mainstream culture.

The Michigan Glass Project is associated with the Colorado Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to unite the artistic glass community through charitable events that showcase the talent and culture of Michigan. The Michigan Glass Project is gearing up for this year's three-day fundraising collaborations. Artists from around the globe will come together to make collaborative aquatic-based themed installations. Proceeds from the sale of the installations, along with silent auction art work and monetary donations will go towards re-opening the Belle Isle Aquarium.
