Featuring live vocal performance by Sarah White with Mica May; live electronic dub sets opening and closing the night from Maaksha; fire spinning performances and glass blowing demonstrations by exhibit sponsors Legacy Glassworks; and, fancy appetizers and refreshments!

Torched brings functional glass into the space of the art gallery, crossing the boundaries set by the worlds of traditional studio glass and fine art. Created by nine functional glass artists living and working in the upper Midwest, the objects included in Torched combine innovation and artisanship, form and function; the works bring the aesthetics of an underground movement into the light of day. The exhibit will officially open on Saturday, April 22nd with performances by Loom in Essence and Nicky Boy Floyd, but will first be revealed at a special 420 Preview Party on Thursday, April 20th featuring a live performance by soulstress Sarah White. Fancy refreshments, fire spinning performances, live glassblowing demonstrations, along with opening and closing sets by electronic dub producer Maksha will make this a very memorable evening – while giving collectors first dibs on these new works. The 420 Preview Party is thrown in collaboration with Legacy Glassworks, who will be hosting a free pre-party earlier that day at their new Uptown location.
