The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is honored to showcase the wonderous glassworks of a Pacific Northwest legend — Chuck Franklin — in this, his 50th year working with stained glass.
A Life in Glass will be on display in the Runyan Gallery, on the first floor of the Newport Visual Arts Center, from March 1st through May 19th, 2024.
This feast-for-the-eyes exhibit highlights the skill and scope of technical and design variety that is only earned from a lifetime of passionate dedication to one’s art. While the majority of works on display are being shown for the first time, the show will also include works that date back to the early years of Franklin’s career, circa 1980. The large windows at the VAC, working in tandem with longer days and increased sunlight, should make for a spectacular, colorful display in the Runyan Gallery. Franklin’s glass creations will also be on display in the building’s second-story windows, allowing them to be visible from the sandy shores of Nye Beach.
