Savor an artful interlude that captures the freedom of the artists’ imagination and the luminous beauty of glass.
KANAZAWA, Japan, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “KanazawaBiyori introduces one of its top recommendations this season: the 16th ’24 Japan Glass Exhibition at the Ishikawa Notojima Glass Art Museum.”
As a pioneer among institutions dedicated to glass, the Ishikawa Notojima Glass Art Museum shares the history and allure of glass art. From Saturday, July 12 through Sunday, October 19, 2025, it hosts the 16th “’24 Japan Glass Exhibition.” Held every three years since 1978, this exhibition presents new works by association members distinguished by diverse modes of expression and original concepts, and is highly regarded in Japan and abroad for its quality.
This 16th edition features works by 82 motivated artists, including 23 prizewinners selected through an open call—the first such call in six years. Expect pieces that bring a welcome sense of cool in midsummer and others that are colorful and energetic, all expanding the expressive possibilities of glass.
This year, QR codes allow visitors to view the making processes of selected members’ works. Seen alongside the finished pieces, these videos offer a richer appreciation of the material and the artists’ craft. Formed from unfettered ideas, these glass works become more captivating the longer you look. Come for the art—and for the natural beauty of Notojima.
