“Form before function.” Until the 1960s, this rule didn’t apply to glass. But Toledo-based artists changed that by creating beautiful, innovative pieces of glass art with the Studio Glass Movement. The era has a bounty of unsung heroes— women artists who fought for fair recognition. See works by these glass artists during the Toledo Museum of Art’s newest exhibition, Fired Up: Contemporary Glass by Women Artists, which documents nearly six decades of underappreciated influence. Saturday, September 2 through March 18.
