The Brychtovà Forum - Women Artists Working in Glass: Celebrating Innovation
and Vision Across Generations, a four-day series of free lectures,
panel discussions and events, will be presented from July 15 - 18, 2010.
A collaborative effort by several prominent organizations involved with
Seattle's glass community, The Brychtovà Forum was conceived to
celebrate the rich tradition of women working in glass while also
recognizing the life and work of one of the most important artists
in the history of the glass movement.
The Brychtovà Forum includes opening night presentations by
Ms. Brychtovà and Czech curator Sylva Petrova, followed by
a reception and special exhibition curated by Sarah Traver at
Traver Gallery Seattle. Ms. Brychtovà will discuss her ongoing
work, her lifelong collaboration
with Stanislav Libensky and the 2010 opening of the
Libensky/Brychtovà Museum in Zelesny Brod.
Panel discussions featuring three generations of leading glass
artists will be presented at Seattle Art Museum throughout
the day on Friday and on Saturday morning, all of which will
be free and open to the public. A curator-led discussion will
take place on Saturday afternoon, followed by a glassblowing
demonstration and artist party at Pratt. Seating is limited for
these events, and tickets will be available on a first-come first-
served basis. A private closing reception and fundraising
brunch will be held in honor of Ms.Brychtovà at Dale Chihuly's
Boathouse on Sunday and guests are encouraged to visit
Pilchuck Glass School's annual Open House afterward.
During the Brychtovà Forum, artists working in glass will have
the opportunity to participate in a film documentary project
with the goal of capturing the essence of each individual's
influences, motivations, inspirations and motivations and
visions for their work and the future of glass.
Each participant will be asked a
set of specific questions and will also have an opportunity to
include images of their work. Filming will take place on site.
The Forum is free, but participants must register in advance
as space is limited. Online registration is available at
www.pratt.org/happenings/forum.html.
