About

As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, BAGI is funded in part by the City of San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs. We educate the public about art glass by teaching a variety of glass-working classes, offering free public demonstrations, and bringing in international and locally renowned guest artists to conduct free demonstrations and lectures. BAGI cosponsors the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch®. BAGI’s goal is to continue expanding its education and program offerings to artists and the general public.
