International Year of Glass 2022 fundraising
The 2022 International Year of Glass flagship event is the Opening Ceremony in the Palace of Nations, Geneva from 9-11 February.
This will showcase an array of internationally recognised speakers primed to place glass at the heart of the UN 2030 Humanitarian Goals.
The audience will include important political figures and noteworthy members of the glass community. The proceedings will be live streamed for those unable to attend and available later as a recording.
A book highlighting the same aspirations will be released simultaneously.
With a commitment to financing the Opening Ceremony without recourse to fees, the support of institutions, companies, artists and educators is vital.
A fundraising campaign has been established, https://donate.iyog2022.org/ individual donors can participate using PayPal or Stripe (credit or debit card).
Support is also being sought from companies, associations and institutions able to provide larger gifts sponsoring specific aspects of the event.
Alternatively, it is possible to be a more general ‘Friend of IYOG’. All gifts will be formally acknowledged and much appreciated.
Many other events are also planned: trade fairs, conferences, magazine articles, exhibitions in art galleries and museums, talks, factory open days, newspaper articles, etc.
