ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (August 8, 2023) — The Quad City Botanical Center and Hot Glass are hosting a press conference for the new Garden Glass exhibit on Wednesday, August 9, 12PM, at the Quad City Botanical Center.
The Garden Glass exhibit features over 350 individual pieces of glass, combined for display into five garden beds and two ponds. The pieces of glass art have been handmade, designed, and installed into the garden landscape by talented local artists at Hot Glass in Downtown Davenport, Iowa. A majority of the glass art is installed outdoors, with a feature piece in the tropical Sun Garden. This handcrafted exhibit incorporates shapes, colors, patterns, and movements that compliment and amplify the beauty of the gardens. The pieces were made with the Quad City Botanical Center's landscape as inspiration.
Hot Glass is a hands-on, non-profit organization dedicated to the instruction, presentation, interpretation, collection, documentation, and preservation of the contemporary glass-art movement with a special focus on team building for organizations.
