Museum of Glass - Visiting Artist: Crystal Worl - 11/16/2024

Описание: Crystal Worl joins Museum of Glass in a first-ever collaboration with Port of Seattle. Worl was one of two artists selected by Port of Seattle to create large-scale public art installations for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s C Concourse Expansion project. The project, a collaboration between the Port and two iconic Pacific Northwest cultural institutions, Museum of Glass, and Pilchuck Glass School, will allow Worl time and resources to undertake this project of massive scale.

Crystal is a talented multidisciplinary artist based in Juneau, Alaska. She draws inspiration from her cultural roots and the natural world around her. Worl's artwork is diverse, ranging from Tlingit Northwest Coast design to contemporary multimedia pieces. Her work often explores themes of identity, connection to land, and the interplay between traditional and modern ways of life. In addition to creating art, Worl is also an advocate for Indigenous rights and works to promote cultural awareness and understanding through her art. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and she continues to be a prominent voice in the Indigenous art community.
