On this and the opposite page is a sampling of some of the work presented at the Stained Glass Association of America’s Sharing Art event, which was a part of the 105th Annual Summer Conference, which was held in June at the Elms Resort and Spa in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. At this event, members were given time to present some of their recent projects. The work presented ranged from student panels to architectural installations and demonstrated both the great diversity in styles and the impressive artistic and craft accomplishment among members of the Association. The Sharing Art event will be held again next year at the Annual Summer Conference that will be in Portland, Oregon. All members are invited to participate.
