A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:
“Considering many of us are emerging from difficult times in our lives, we wanted to highlight and celebrate the unwavering strength, determination, creativity and resilience so many have demonstrated over the past year. This concept seems to resonate with many individuals, small businesses, our community and beyond.
Glass is created, in part, by a series of unforgiving forces and processes, including heat and flame. Just as glass is formed by fire, we are also shaped by difficulties we face in life. We do the best we can, not only to overcome these challenges, but to emerge from the fire stronger and more resilient than we were before. We embrace the idea of a phoenix rising from the ashes. We believe we all have a bit of that resilient spirit in us.”
