ACGA 2023 Convention and Glass Show

American Cut Glass Association Convention and Glass Show--July 19-22, 2023

From about 1876 until 1915, American craftsmen exceeded all others in producing extraordinary examples of cut and engraved glass artwork that will never again be equaled.  The American Cut Glass Association (ACGA) was formed in in 1978 with the objective of preserving historical knowledge and advancing appreciation for American Brilliant cut glass as an art form.  To advance this mission, the ACGA continues to host annual members-only conventions and glass shows around the United States.  The 45^th annual ACGA annual convention will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 19-22, 2023, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel (downtown, Canal St.). Further information for convention registration can be found at www.cutglass.org.

This spectacular Glass Show will also be open to the Public for glass sales on Friday and Saturday afternoon from 1:00 to 5:00 pm with no admission charge. This is the largest exhibition of American Brilliant Cut Glass you will ever see featuring rare, large, and unusual examples!!!  These examples are sourced from major collections, along with estate sales and auctions from across the U.S.  Payments by cash or check preferred (sometimes Venmo/PayPal/etc.). Credit cards are generally not accepted.
