Retail Glass Marketplace

The Foci MCGA Galleries support our mission of gathering people to explore the creative potential of glass. Divided into two models, the Marketplace Gallery and the Exhibition Gallery provide a venue for sales and exhibitions for established and emerging glass artists. Both galleries serve to raise awareness of the use of glass as an art medium by educating the membership, students, collectors, and the public as to the sculptural, design, and installation possibilities with glass. The Marketplace Gallery is intended for the sale of low to mid-priced glass items including housewares and gifts, functional items and sculptural objects, and jewelry.

Current artists email gallery@mnglassart.org to schedule an appointment for artwork review. Artwork dropped off without an appointment will not be accepted.

New artists interested in selling work through the Marketplace should email gallery@mnglassart.org to inquire. Include a brief artist bio and artwork description, 3-5 images of your work, and links to your website or social media handles.

The image shows an art gallery interior with white shelves and a white table displaying various colorful glass vases and bowls.
