Past event
The Pittsboro Gallery of Arts is pleased to present the work of fused glass artist, Janet Place, in a Featured Artist Show that will be on display from Tuesday, May 5th through Sunday, May 31st, 2026. There will be a reception on Friday, May 15th, from 5-8 pm.
Place draws her inspiration from two distinct sources—the flowing, transparent style of Murano glass, and the vibrant, organic forms of mid-century modern design. Looking at her work, it is easy to see the blend of these inspirations—her beautiful, kaleidoscope-like colors are sometimes blended and flowing, and other times filled with surprising pops of shape and color that will take the viewer directly to that mid-century design period.
Please join us in celebrating the work of this talented artist. We think that you will find her work to be much like Place herself—colorful, accessible, and fun!
