Our guild is actively involved in our community with various activities. If you are interested in our outreach activities please contact us.


  Glass Arts Festival

This is a free one-day festival. It is the only one of its kind in the US and features demonstrations of a wide variety of art glass techniques used by our members. An activity is also provided for children. This event is held every other year and is sponsored by the NCAGG in cooperation with cultural institutions in our area. In the past the festival has been held at the Glen Echo Park, on the Potomac near Bethesda, MD with the cooperation of the Glen Echo Art Glass Consortium and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture. In 2008 the festival was held at the Lorton Arts Center in Lorton, VA.


  Festival of the Building Arts (FOBA) at the National Building Museum

FOBAOur guild demonstrates glass art at the Festival of the Building Arts every year. The Festival is held in the fall at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. This is a free one-day event where visitors have the opportunity to learn and work side by side with architects, builders, designers, artisans and trades people demonstrating their skills. There are many activities for people of all ages. NCAGG provides demonstrations and hands-on activities on many aspects of glass art. Kids truly enjoy making our colored vinyl “stained glass” windows and fused glass sun catchers. Our members agree that this is one of the most enjoyable outreach events in which to participate. (See NCAGG at FOBA 2010.)


  So Others Might Eat (SOME)

In the past many NCAGG members have donated various works of art at our shows with the proceeds benefiting S.O.M.E, a non-profit organization in Washington, DC that provides many valuable services for the area’s elderly and homeless. Services include meals, clothes, shelter, training, counseling, rehabilitation, and health care.


  “Art-Rageous” in Fairfax, VA

Fairfax County holds an annual arts festival, Spotlight on the Arts to support and encourage the awareness of cultural opportunities in the greater Fairfax community. The festival is considered one of Virginia's foremost arts festivals with music, dance, theater, visual arts etc. Several NCAGG members have participated to demonstrate stained glass windows and assist children with making fun plastic “stained glass” windows.


  Elementary School Windows

School WindowsOur guild has also been involved in exposing elementary school students to the art of stained glass. Members of NCAGG made and installed stained glass windows in their school, and the children were intricately involved in all construction aspects of the window, from the design to cutting glass to soldering.
