Art glass reflects the time and place that shapes it.
A century ago, artists and their studios in this country and Europe fashioned art glass in what was then a new style: Art Deco.
Next week, pieces from an art glass collection go on display at the Hunter Museum of American Art here in Chattanooga - with an opening reception on Thursday, May 23rd - starting at 6 PM.
Lauren Nye is associate curator at the Hunter.
