Red Hot Auction & Gala

The Museum of Glass Red Hot Auction & Gala is the Museum’s signature annual fundraiser, featuring live and silent auctions, the presentation of the Museum’s Coney Awards to donating artists, gourmet dinner and cocktails. Both celebratory and mission-driven, the event raises critical support for the Museum’s exhibitions, Hot Shop residencies, and educational programs while placing artists and their stories at the center of the experience.

Save the Date for Saturday, September 19, 2026!

We invite our community of collectors, artists, and patrons to join us and Featured Artist Dante Marioni for a Venetian-inspired evening in celebration of the museum’s radiant future.

Every Red Hot Auction & Gala features an after party with live glassblowing by the Grand Prize Coney Award winner of the previous year’s donating artists.
