Wagga Wagga Art Gallery’s National Art Glass Collection is the most comprehensive public collection of Australian studio glass. It reflects diversity in style, subject and technique in contemporary practice as a continuous record of the glass community’s achievements and evolution from the 1970s to the present. The significance of the Collection was acknowledged in 1992 when it was officially designated the National Art Glass Collection.

The use of glass as a medium for artistic expression enjoyed a major revival in the United States in the 1960’s. At this time technical developments made it possible for individual artists to work in private studios and freed them from the factory model of production. This gave rise to the term ‘studio glass’ and the artistic phenomenon known as the ‘studio glass movement’. This movement emerged in Australia in the early 1970s.
