Ode to Diligence: The Art of Jason McDonald
Jason McDonald's glass art exhibition opens at Tacoma Art Museum, showcasing work rooted in Venetian furnace techniques. McDonald uses the demanding craft to explore both the barriers BIPOC artists face in creative spaces and the pure satisfaction of mastering difficult technical work. If you're curious about glass art beyond the obvious Chihuly collection the museum already houses, this is worth a look.
