Hot Glass for Heroes Program

Please note: At this time we are accepting applications, but do not currently have the next class dates set. You will be contacted when the program dates are announced.

In honor of those who have served our country, First City Art Center is offering a glass scholarship fund for veteran and active duty service members. Studies have shown that glass programs are especially valuable for military veterans- improving cognition, physical dexterity and building confidence. The teamwork aspect of glassblowing also fosters the camaraderie that service members and veterans already share.

Hot Glass for Heroes began in Spring 2021 – each $75 scholarship has allowed a participant to experience a one-hour hands-on glassblowing class.

If you would like to join us in our fundraising efforts – giving our veterans a creative outlet with the potential to transform – you can donate to the Hot Glass for Heroes program.
Donations to the Hot Glass for Heroes Program can be made here.
