Check out what we have been up to!

The Baima Mobile Glass Studio has been on the road this fall! We took glassblowing demonstrations to Lincoln Memorial Gardens' Fall Festival and to Harvest Days at the Gables. If you would like to help us take the art of glassblowing out in to the community, see the various giving options on our Donate page.
Opening Minds Through Art, an Alzheimer's and dementia art program, Is back for Fall 2025! Artists and volunteers will spend 8 weeks creating artworks and sharing community. Thank you to St. Joseph's Home Legacy of Care Fund for supporting OMA at SAA. Take a look at some of the beautiful artworks created this session!
