Pilchuck Glass School will host a one-night public exhibition featuring more than 250 original artworks in glass. Pilchuck on Display: An Exhibition of International Glass Art will be held Thursday, October 14, 2010, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at The Westin Seattle as part of the school’s Annual Auction celebration.

Free and open to the public, this event offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to view an array of glass art while mingling with artists and patrons. "Pilchuck on Display allows visitors to take a virtual trip to our campus," observes Ruth King, the school’s artistic director. "And it offers them a chance to see finished works by artists from around the world who have studied and taught at the school."

"With masterpieces by Studio Glass Movement pioneers and exciting works by emerging artists, this extraordinary variety arrayed in one place allows viewers to appreciate the range of creativity in glass," says Director of Development Whitney Hazzard. "And Pilchuck is honored to share them with Seattle-area residents and visitors." "

Pilchuck on Display will be the only public viewing for these works before they enter private collections. All these artworks, along with 100 glass table- centerpieces will be auctioned off during the school’s Annual Auction gala the following evening, Friday, October 15, 2010.
