Call for Papers x2

The deadlines for two 'Call for Papers' are coming up soon for glass art conferences -

American Glass Guild Conference Call for Papers.
Philadelphia, PA - August 1-4, 2008
deadline - November 1, 2007

The AGG is still the new kid on the block in terms of glass associations and it's good to see them reaching out. I think this is the first time they've done a call for papers.

Glass Art Society Conference Call for Presentation Proposals
Corning, NY - June 11-14, 2009
deadline - December 1, 2007

The GAS conferences held in Corning are always 'the big ones' - more artists, more companies, more stuff in general - and this is the one conference location where the lectures and demonstrations are within walking distance of each other. It would be nice to have some flat glass artists represented in both lectures and demos at this one. The 18 month lead time can be strange to contemplate, but it's well worth it if you get in. I did a demo at the 2006 conference, and I have an idea for a panel I'd like to put together for the 2009 conference...
