Sunday May 3rd, 2026 from 5:00pm-8:00pm
Welcoming all Foci MCGA community members: glass artists, past and present studio members, glass students, etc.
Come together and share a meal over glassy chats! If you're able to, bring a small dish to pass and come hang out! Forge some new connections, enjoy some food, and participate in some activities for artists. We'd love for you to join us! This event is not restricted to current members only. We encourage previous members, students, staff, and local glass artists to attend as well! If you haven't been to the new studio location yet, this is a great opportunity to explore it and meet some of the new faces. The gallery and studio will be closed for shopping and rental during the potluck - staff will not be on duty.
Food setup will be in the classroom with outlets will be available for crock pots. A limited amount of serving tongs and spoons will be available. Disposable plates, utensils, napkins, and water will be provided. After you submit your RSVP, enter what you are bringing to pass on our 2026 Potluck Food Signup spreadsheet! There will be slips available to fill out during setup indicating what allergens your food items may contain.
RSVP is required, so we know how many to expect!
