Ode to Diligence: The Art of Jason McDonald
Jason McDonald's glass sculptures explore both the technical precision of Venetian furnace work and the barriers Black artists face in accessing creative spaces. This exhibition at the Tacoma Art Museum on October 15 pairs intricate glasswork with conceptual depth—a rare combination that rewards close looking. If you're into craft, identity, or just objects made with genuine skill, it's worth the trip downtown.

Lineup

  • Jason McDonald

    Jason McDonald is a glass artist with a particular passion for Venetian furnace techniques. He uses these techniques to speak about barriers BIPOC people face in accessing creative spaces, as well as the wild joy of chasing technical pursuits. He began his glass career at the age of 14 at the hilltop artist program, Tacoma Washington.
