Big things are coming and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎉
The GCBE 30th Anniversary Celebration, proudly co-sponsored by Oceanside Glass, will take place on Saturday, April 18th at GCBE 2026.
This milestone event is more than a party—it’s a chance to come together and celebrate three decades of creativity, education, and community within the glass art world. Expect an unforgettable evening featuring fire dancers lighting up the night, dazzling showgirls bringing that classic Vegas flair, a live DJ keeping the party vibes on point, and an Elvis impersonator who will have you feeling like you’re celebrating with the King himself. Pair that with delicious food and drinks, plus plenty of fun surprises, and you’ve got a night to remember.
It’s also a fantastic opportunity to network with the vibrant glass art community connect with fellow students, instructors, exhibitors, industry leaders, and longtime GCBE friends. Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting new ones, this celebration will be the perfect setting to spark conversations, collaborations, and inspiration.
Students, instructors, exhibitors, and attendees are all warmly invited to join in the festivities. Mark your calendar now and get ready for an evening filled with creativity, connection, and celebration.
More exciting details—including entertainment highlights and event updates will be announced soon. Trust us… this is one anniversary you won’t want to miss!
