National Commissioners
European Glass Context 2012 has appointed one National Commissioner in each of the 30 participating European countries. The national commissioners are invited to cooperate with EGC2012 because of their expertise and knowledge of contemporary European glass. They may come from various positions within the field of glass, this being museum curators, art critics, educators or freelance curators. The National Commissioners play a vital role in the profile and organization of European Glass Context. Their choices will outline the direction in which glass is going in their relevant country. They also undertake the important task of being the communication link between the participating artists and the secretariat of European Glass Context 2012.
