OF GLASS
StudioNEXT is a visionary capital campaign that seeks your support to transform The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass into the most comprehensive, accessible, and technologically advanced center for glass artistry and artistic innovation.
The World’s Premier Glass Studio Is Getting Even Better
Since its inception, The Studio has been a place where artists realize their greatest ambitions. As The Studio’s reach and reputation have grown, so has demand for services, programs, and resources.
To foster unbridled creative expression and push the conceptual and technical boundaries of art in glass forward, The Studio must keep pace.
Once complete, StudioNEXT will meet the increased demand and recast the trajectory of art in glass in the process. Building on The Studio’s legacy as an intersection of artists, connoisseurs, students, resources, and researchers, StudioNEXT will provide more technology, more community, and more opportunities to innovate.
Here’s what to expect from the expansion:
- More than double the space, from 24,000 to 60,000 sq. ft.
- The first large-scale kiln casting facility in North America, featuring 6 large kilns, a 500-pound gravity-feed casting furnace, mold-making and cold-working rooms, and a 1,000-pound overhead crane system
- The chance for aspiring artists to advance their skills through a two-year intensive training program
- Expanded programs to help young people and other individuals overcome social, financial, and academic barriers to art
- Double the capacity of Make Your Own Glass, creating more keystone experiences among visitors
- New partnerships that will create more opportunities for diverse voices in glass
- An expanded artists-in-residence program, increasing the number of residencies per year and offering variations in residency duration
- Additional leading-edge glassmaking technologies, including CNC machines, 3D printers, neon-making facilities, a wood shop, and a metal shop
Where We Are and Where We Have to Go
CMoG has already achieved more than 80% of our goal in public, private, and in-kind commitments.
