46th Annual Glass Art Show Applications are Open

The Gardens is turning 50!

Glass Art applications are due January 15, 2027

Get creative and have fun! This is your opportunity to think outside the garden box. The world is our garden, and glass is our canvas.

The theme “A Garden Party” can take you in so many directions. Find inspiration in:

Music — including Ricky Nelson’s “Garden Party,” which he wrote after being booed off the stage at a rock ’n’ roll revival concert at Madison Square Garden.

Movies— gardens, parties, characters, scenes, and stories that spark your imagination.

British-inspired gardens — formal gardens, tea parties, roses, hedges, birds, and garden wildlife.

Garden wildlife — butterflies, bees, birds, insects, frogs, and other creatures that make a garden come alive.

Flowers and plants — from elegant blooms to wild, whimsical, or fantastical interpretations.

The idea of a party itself — celebration, gathering, music, dancing, food, friends, and all the unexpected things you might find at a garden party.

There really are no limits to where this theme can take you.
So, have fun with it. Be whimsical, elegant, unexpected, humorous, nostalgic, or completely outside the box.
