Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass’ GLASS Arts Festival and its Friday VIP event will be relocated to the Fox Cities Exhibition Center in Appleton.
The relocation follows a determination by city of Neenah officials that ongoing tornado cleanup and recovery operations, combined with public safety considerations, make it impossible to safely permit and support the event at its originally planned location and capacity.
Although the Museum grounds are ready, cleanup of the parks and city streets is still ongoing.
The admission-free festival will continue as scheduled Aug. 8 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., welcoming more than 40 glass artists and exhibitors from across the country – and as far away as Japan – with all festival activities including children’s activities and the Friday VIP event taking place at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center.
While the GLASS Arts Festival will be relocated at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass will remain open to the public on Saturday.
