The energy and excitement in the SGAA + SAMA offices could probably power a small city at this point, and we’re surprised the roads between Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Toledo aren’t glowing from the churn of our tires as we race around putting the finishing touches on what’s really shaping up to be a momentous conference and celebration in Toledo!
While we still need a bit more time, we would like to give you a general sense of where we are in regards to finalizing details and to give you an idea of what to expect in the coming weeks.
There will be a juried exhibition! Adjoined 2022 will be a juried exhibition of original Mosaic Art, Stained Glass and Architectural Art presented by the Stained Glass Association of America and the Society of American Mosaic Artists held in conjunction with our joint conference, in Toledo, Ohio, June 27-30, 2022. This will be presented in a public space for a period of several weeks and we will celebrate the work and artists during our Toledo Conference. The exhibition prospectus and Call for Entry details will be posted, emailed, and shared in the next 2 weeks.
Your sponsors, the incredible suppliers, and manufacturers that support our industry are already filling the Vendor Marketplace. If you would like to add your support, review the sponsor and vendor opportunities and place your commitment soon! Space is limited!
We are putting the finishing touches on an incredible program! Bringing two communities together affords a rich well to draw for presentations and workshops that will provide quality foundational references while also inspiring artistic exploration across the gathering’s varied interests. We are also organizing field sessions and opportunities to explore all that Toledo has to offer. There are a lot of moving parts and we appreciate everyone’s excitement, enthusiasm, and patience while we put all the pieces in place!
