"Fused for You" Glass Artists' Reception Last Friday at Gallery 200 in West Chicago, IL Kicked Off a Beautiful Art Glass Show to See NOW!

If you love the vibrant color and crystalline qualities that art glass offers, you'll need to stop by this show! Four glass artists: VALERIE BAXTER, AMBER CLAY, DEBBIE MANDARINO AND RITA SKARHA fused their passion for this art form to produce a show that shimmers. From jewelry, wall art, trays and bowls to sun catchers for the garden, you're sure to find a stunning piece for keeping or giving during this holiday season. Work is affordably priced which explains why the check-out line at the opening reception last Friday night was very long!

Gallery 200 in West Chicago, IL is a non-profit, volunteer operated art group located at 103 W. Washington in downtown West Chicago. It's not fancy -- the building appears to have been a former dime store. However, this organization is using its expansive space well for both a gallery, sales area and classroom. It's well worth a visit. Here are their hours:

Thursday

2:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Friday

2:00 PM - 6:00 AM

Saturday

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Sunday

12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

At Art BEAT Buzz, we were fascinated by this delicate, twig-shaped glass tabletop "bowl"; $68 by Deb Mandarino.
