Founded in 2002 by a group of local glass artists, Glass Art Kalamazoo (GAK) is a nonprofit, community-access glass arts and education center located at the Park Trades Center in downtown Kalamazoo. Our mission is to enrich the community by providing exceptional experiences in glass art both from our studio and by working with schools, nonprofit groups and businesses in our community. Discover your creative side by taking a class, exploring our art gallery/gift shop, or watching a live hot glass or Journey Bead demonstration during Art Hop. We hope to see you in our studios soon! When attending class, please remember to wear closed-toe shoes.
