Glass Artists of Western Australia (GAWA) presents a compelling survey of contemporary glass-making, featuring the work of 20 artists from across the state. First exhibited at Shopfront Gallery Northbridge in June, the digital screen adaptation brings the exhibition into the public realm.
This presentation offers a unique lens into the diversity, innovation, and craftsmanship defining glass art practice in WA today. From bold sculptural forms to delicate explorations of transparency, colour, and light, each piece reflects the distinct artistic voice of its maker — together forming a collective portrait of a vibrant creative field.
GAWA is an active collective of glass artists, formed in 2014 following the national glass exhibition Flair at Gallery Central, Perth. United by a shared passion for the medium, the group fosters connection, collaboration, and visibility for glass art across WA. Their ongoing exhibitions and events serve both as platforms for emerging talent and as spaces for seasoned practitioners to share their evolving craft.
Situated in the heart of Northbridge, this iteration of the exhibition on the Piazza Superscreen offers an open-air viewing experience where art meets the rhythm of the city. Passersby are invited to pause, reflect, linger, look, and engage with glass in a new light.
