Ausglass, The Australian Association of Glass Artists Ltd, is proud to be hosting the 35th annual G.A.S. Conference "Matters of Substance" in Adelaide from the 7th to 9th of May 2005. The conference will offer major opportunities for the Australian glass community, both nationally and internationally. The conference will offer a unique platform to increase the exposure of and accessibility to Australian glass artists. Similarly, international artists, students, collectors, galleries and those with a general interest in glass will experience a productive interchange.

Ausglass invites all interested parties to become involved and enjoy this rare and distinctive opportunity. With pre and post conference events organised to complement the Conference we are sure that the experience will be fulfilling and carry long term benefits.

Australia, a unique island-continent of great contrasts, offers varied experiences to both international and interstate travellers. Glass centres of international significance in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth and Adelaide are each distinctive. Notable practitioners and galleries are also located across the country, particularly in Darwin, Hobart, and Brisbane while the National Art Glass Collection is exhibited at Wagga Wagga. Our cities, regional centres, landscapes and flora and fauna are unique and unusual.

We hope to see you in Adelaide May 2005; we invite all to experience life within an ancient and beautiful country.   Experience as much of Australia as possible and enjoy the hospitality of the Australian glass community.
