Since January 2019, The Glass department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie has turned 50 years of age, and will celebrate this with numerous exhibitions, workshops, residencies, lectures, demonstrations and symposia, together with our friends and partners all over Europe.

In the spirit of our anniversary, Het Glazen Huis (BE), PXL-Mad Hasselt (BE), Thomas Bata University (CZ), GASK (CZ), Bezalel University (ISR), Alter Hof Herding – Ernsting Stiftung (DE), Nationaal Glasmuseum Leerdam (NL), Museum van der Togt (NL), Van Tetterode Glas (NL), Vrij Glas (NL), Looiersgracht 60 (NL), Landgoed Anningahof (NL), The Glass Virus, NCAD (IR) and The Gerrit Rietveld Academie will organise various events, emphasising on their past and present connections with the glass department.

Many of these events, including our big ‘celebration extravaganza’ in Amsterdam are still in preparation. To find more information on passed projects and upcoming events, look forward to our updates on this website!
