Kay Bain Weiner Foundation Art Glass Education Detail

The Goal of the Foundation is to attract more people into the glass art world by providing scholarships, grants, supplies, and books to high schools, colleges, and other educational venues. We have had a very positive response from manufacturers and suppliers in the industry, but the Foundation needs additional funds to make its goals a reality.

Generate the public’s interest in glass art and offer educational opportunities to those who would not have the opportunity to study glass art and to stimulate the growth of the industry.
Distribute donated books, magazines, videos, CDs, and glass to schools, senior citizen centers, and educational centers.
Promote glass art classes at continuing education facilities such as adult education centers, senior citizen centers, summer camps, cruise ships and other such venues.
Promote glass art exhibitions in galleries and public facilities.
Encourage glass artists to apply for artist-in-residence workshops in schools or help set up such programs.
The KBW Foundation seeks to attract more people into the glass art arena through educational projects such as scholarships.
Help instructors set up suggested glass projects and supply lists for teaching class through the “Teach the Teacher” program.
Studio and retail sponsored apprenticeships.

We can meet these goals with your help in providing the additional funds that are needed to make this vision a reality. Please consider joining our existing sponsors at the Platinum ($5,000), Gold ($2,500), Silver ($1,000), or Contributor level.
