Little known to most Americans, there is a glass art movement in Australia that developed alongside the similar glass art movement in our area going back to the 1970s, spurred by artists from Pilchuck and the Bullseye Glass Company in Portland. "The connections between Australia and the Pacific Northwest are longstanding and fascinating, but the differences between the art of the two regions are just as intriguing," says Vicki Halper, curator of "Links: Australian Glass and the Pacific Northwest at Museum of Glass."

The show at MOG features the works of21 Australian and five American contemporary glass artists. The works are interestingly arranged in three galleries according to styles or themes.
