"Artist Submissions
Thank you for your interest in submitting art to be included in the National Liberty Museum’s 10th Anniversary Glass Now Auction. This annual event is a major fundraiser for the Museum’s anti-violence and character education outreach programs, drawing support from the glass art community, the primary art form featured in the Museum.
The National Liberty Museum is the only museum is the world that uses contemporary glass art for the purpose of celebrating freedom and defusing violence and hate. By incorporating glass art in exhibits on Civic Responsibility, Respect for Diversity, Peaceful Conflict Resolution and Heroism, we make the point that freedom is as fragile as glass and every citizen has the duty to protect it through his or her own actions. More than 450,000 students, families and visitors from across the country and around the world have visited the Museum since we opened our doors in 2000. We have been told that our message is changing lives, while creating a whole new generation of glass art enthusiasts.

More about the National Liberty Museum:
"About the Museum
The National Liberty Museum invites visitors to celebrate the diversity of the American experience and reminds us that we each have the “Power of One” to make a difference.
Glass art is a key component of the Museum because it represents both the beauty and fragility of freedom. The Museum houses one of the largest and most important collections of contemporary glass sculptures in the world. The centerpiece of the Museum is a 21-foot “Flame of Liberty” by the world’s most renowned glass artist, Dale Chihuly.
Another important theme of the Museum is the universality of heroism – the idea that anyone can be a hero. The Museum honors 2,000 people of all backgrounds and walks of life to promote pride in oneself and respect for others. We also teach ways to resolve conflicts peacefully and stress the necessity of civic involvement as a means of preserving America’s heritage of freedom.
All of these messages are presented in visually stunning exhibits and through interactives that are both challenging and fun."
