• The chance for aspiring artists to advance their skills through the Glassmaking Institute, a two-year intensive training program
• Expanded programs to help young people and other individuals overcome social, financial, and academic barriers to art
• Double the capacity of the Make Your Own Glass workshop, creating more keystone experiences among visitors
• New partnerships that will create more opportunities for diverse voices in glass
• An expanded Artists-in-Residence program, increasing the number of residencies per year and offering variations in residency duration
