Annual Glass Sale
See Photos from the Sale
The Department of Art + Art History’s Annual Glass Art Sale
was initiated on the loading dock behind the art building in the mid 1990’s by founder David Keens, in order to raise money to buy raw materials, equipment, tools, and develop scholarships. Over the past decades, the annual event has grown into a world-class showcase of glass created by UTA students, faculty, and visiting artists.
Thanks to the extraordinary support of the glass sale by members of the civic and university communities, the facility and program has expanded into one of the premier academic glass art programs in the country.

The studio facility continues to operate on a modest yearly academic budget, supplemented by the funds raised during this important fundraiser and sale. Sale funds are divided equally between the contributing student, and the glass studio. The studio’s half is still used for all of our major equipment purchases, as well as buying raw materials with which we continue to repair and build our own equipment. It also provides scholarships and research support to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Event location: Studio Arts Center, 810 S. Davis St., Arlington, TX
