1999-2009: A Region Collects

April 24-August 23, 2009

1999-2009: A Region Collects showcased works owned by local glass collectors and aimed to highlight the significance of glass art in Hampton Roads. Works by Preston Singeltary, Richard Royal, Stanislav Libensky/Jaroslava Brychtova, Toots Zynsky, Josh Simpson, Dale Chihuly and many more were on display.

Special thanks to the lenders: Suzanne and Vince Mastracco, Randy and Irene Sutton, Uschi and Bill Butler, Pam and George Clarke, Gale and Scott Higgs, Terri and Bob McKenzie, Barbara and Andrew Fine, Valerie and Walter Neff, Steve and Lynne Winter.

This exhibition was part of a regional collaboration--including the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (now MOCA), Chrysler Museum of Art and the Virginia Arts Festival--known as Art of Glass 2. The first Art of Glass collaboration was in 1999 and featured the world-famous Dale Chihuly.
