The Glass Gathering Art Show (GGAS) is an annual, one-day exhibition of glass artwork representing the multiple techniques that glass artists use.  Its mission is to support and encourage the growth of artists working in glass.  It provides a professionally executed forum devoted to glass as a medium. Hosted by Harmony Stained Glass in Pasadena, Texas, the GGAS 2025 was a juried exhibition of glass art works. Cash prizes and ribbons were presented for First Place in each category, People’s Choice, Technical Merit, and Best in Show awards. Glass Gathering thanks all participating artists, our Juror Deborah Ellington, Harmony Stained Glass, and the many volunteers who made the show a success.
