Ignite the Night

Thursday, December 14 | 6:00-10:00 PM
Ignite the Night is a 21 years or older event.

We’ve raised the bar for an evening out and invite you to join the party. The Corning Museum of Glass will demo their mobile flameworking studio for you while you sip drinks from the open bar and listen to tunes from the DJ. At this live, narrated presentations of glass working, you’ll see the flameworker melt rods and tubes using a 4,000-degree torch and then shape the softened glass into any variety of objects, from glass animals and beads to ornaments and sculptures. Come for the Sonny Seltzer drinks and the glass working demo, and stay for art exhibitions, activities, and the “most festively dressed” contest. This series of demos was inspired by the breathtaking exhibition, From Flame to Flower: The Art of Paul J. Stankard.

Join our Toys for Tots drive by bringing a new toy in its package. Each donation will receive a raffle ticket and a chance to win a private curator-led exhibition tour. Limit three raffle tickets per person.

Major support for this project is provided by Susanne and Edward von der Linde. Additional support is provided by Will and Mary Leland.

This event is sponsored by Sonny Seltzer.

Ms. Morristown is our partner influencer for Ignite the Night.
