Along side historic pieces by pioneers of the contemporary glass movement, Wexler Gallery also features dynamic glass works by new talent. With a focus on both emerging and mid-career artists, the gallery’s program aims to encourage our viewers to explore the possibilities of the medium and its applications. Fascinated by the notion of challenging the traditional labels that categorize art, Wexler Gallery exhibits work that can coexist in the worlds of design, fine art, decorative art and craft. By questioning and challenging the boundaries of these fields, we aim to present functional and non-functional work that consistently celebrates innovation. Unified by a commitment to excellent craftsmanship and true dedication to their art, we are proud to showcase some of the world’s most esteemed artists working in their areas of pursuit.
