Reflections in Glass Celebration & Exhibition

Pittsburgh Glass Center and The Westmoreland Museum of American Art are pleased to announce a partnership to present Reflections in Glass—a five-day premiere celebration at The Westmoreland Museum from October 14-18, 2026, followed by a featured exhibition at the Pittsburgh Glass Center in Winter 2027.

Through a call for artists issued in April, the two organizations selected 15 artists from the Pittsburgh region and beyond, who were inspired by a specific work of art on view at the Museum and created a new original glass artwork.

The glass artists’ creations will be paired with the works of art that each were inspired by and on view at The Westmoreland from October 14 through 18, from 10am-5pm daily, with admission of $10 for adults and $5 for children. Members of the both the Museum and the Glass Center receive free admission as do children ages 3 and under.

The five-day celebration will also include live demonstrations, several workshop classes with advance registration required, the chance to meet the glass artists, a special after hours social event, and a culminating community day on Sunday with free admission for all and featuring fun activities. Additionally on Sunday, the People’s Choice Award recipient will be announced with voting compiled from attendees’ votes throughout the five days.

Complete information about Reflections in Glass and related programming is available on The Westmoreland’s website.
