The Bloomington Creative Glass Center is pleased to announce that the Annual Great Glass Pumpkin Patch is back!
For the thirteenth year in a row, the Bloomington Creative Glass Center will hold its Great Glass Pumpkin Patch on the Monroe County Courthouse Lawn. Since January, over 35 apprentices in our glass program have worked to create the over 1000 blown glass pumpkins that will be displayed at the Courthouse. Pumpkins will be spread out on the southwest corner of the courthouse lawn for the public to admire and purchase. People can expect to find traditional orange and green pumpkins, as well as purple, blue, black, polkadot, swirl and more. The event is free to enter and is open to the public.
The door will open at 10:00.
The money raised will go toward the organization’s arts education programs.
The Bloomington Creative Glass Center is a nonprofit arts organization based in Bloomington founded by glass artist Abby Gitlitz. In creating the Glass Center, Gitlitz focused on glass arts education, offering classes to members of all ages living in south and central Indiana communities. Through these classes, students are able to learn hands-on various forms of glass arts, further enriching the arts culture of these communities.
The pumpkin patch will be open exclusively to photographers from 9:30-9:45am Saturday, prior to opening it to the public. For more information on the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch, the apprenticeship program, or how you can help, call Abby Gitlitz at 812-345-2470 or email her at [email protected].
