2017 is the first year of the FUSE Glass Prize, presented by JamFactory. This new prize for Australian and New Zealand Glass is a $20,000 non-acquisitive prize. Ten finalists were selected and shown in an exhibition at JamFactory, Adelaide.
The international cohort of judges comprised: Tina Oldknow, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Glass, Corning Museum of Glass, New York; Dr Robert Bell, Senior Curator of Decorative Arts and Design at the Australian National Gallery: DR Margot Osborne, Independent Australian Arts writer and curator; Dr Lisa Slade, Assistant Director, Artistic Programs at the Art Gallery of South Australia and Brian Parkes, Chief Executive Officer at JamFactory.
