Hey, TC!

The Glassroots Art Show is an annual event supporting the community-driven movement of American Made
Functional Glass.

http://www.glassrootsartshow.com/

Glassroots Art Show
Madison, WI
The Monona Terrace and The Hilton Monona Terrace
November 2-6, 2010

Flame-Off November 2-3
Wholesale Buying November 4-5
Open to Public for Retail November 6

The Flame-Off is free and open to the public!

It will be unlike any competitive glass blowing event -

12 male/female teams are randomly partnered up to create their interpretation of a functional glass piece, and will be competing over two days for $10,000 cash and a whole lot more in prizes. There will be live music and Jason Harris there to help explain what you are watching while it is going on. This is your opportunity to see some amazing glass be made in an awesome environment!

Once the pieces are complete, they will be on display, so that any Glassroots Art Show attendees can vote for their favorite.

The teams:

Brandon Martin and Amy Schmitz

CapNCrunk and Zingiber

Burtoni and Lisa's Pieces

Chad G. and Sheilabear

Dan P. and Corrine Winters

Down Neck and Dellene Peralta

Ghost and JoAnn Fellatio

MarbleSlinger and LaceFace

Micah Evans and T-Baller

Micro and Hacky Sacky

Schmitz and Dolores Noggle

The Art Show:

80 Booths representing the Midwest and beyond. Vendors are artists representing their own work, shops with production lines, galleries representing a few artists, raw material suppliers, and tool makers. It is the Glassroots mission to connect the buyer directly to the artists, and limit what is being sold to pure functional glass art. As a buyer or artist, you won't have to walk through all the extra "stuff" in order to find some high quality glass art at the best prices possible.

Please visit the website for updated event information, to register as a buyer, or to see the list of vendors and sponsors. If you are interested in vending, please fill out the contact form on the vendor page @ www.glassrootsartshow.com or email contact info to info@glassrootsartshow.com.

After parties are being hosted by Kulture VA at the Monona Terrace on Thursday Nov. 4th and by Bitfreak's Piece of Mind at the High Noon Saloon on Friday Nov. 5th. Tickets for the High Noon Saloon can purchased on the website for $12. These will sell out so plan ahead.

Catch you there!
