Since 2021, Foci MCGA has been supporting emerging young glass artists from Project for Pride in Living's LEAP program. These young artists learn through in depth glass arts classes that span our studios and mentorships with local artists.
Deeply invested youth are also supported in applying for, and getting to, extended summer learning opportunities around the country and world.
Past opportunities have included the Glass Art Society Conference in Detroit and the Expanding Horizons Program at Corning Museum of Glass.
This year, these emerging artists have been invited to a week long workshop with Laura Donefer at Corning Museum of Glass and a glass arts tour and educational experience in Murano, Italy with Autonoma Next.
Foci MCGA and LEAP have secured some funding for plane tickets, course costs, and meals, but we need support from our community to cover the rest!
A donation of any amount will make a huge difference in the lives of these young artists and impact of Foci MCGA's youth programming.
