Celebrate Glassboro’s Artistic History
Art has a particularly meaningful connection to Glassboro.
The community’s history is closely tied to glassmaking, dating back to the establishment of the “Glass Works in the Woods” in 1779. Glassboro continues to recognize that history today through public art, murals, sculptures, and community arts initiatives.
The Art Walk gives visitors an opportunity to experience some of those connections firsthand.
Throughout Downtown Glassboro, you’ll find public art installations that connect the Borough’s history with its modern creative community.
That includes the Glassblower Bronze Statue in Town Square, the Glassboro Legacy Mural, and other public artwork throughout the downtown area.
See Artists at Work
One of the most interesting parts of the Art Walk is getting to see how art is actually made.
Artists will demonstrate their skills and craftsmanship throughout the festival, creating an experience that’s more interactive than simply walking through a traditional gallery.
Families are also encouraged to interact with artists, participate in creative activities, and learn more about why preserving art and artistic traditions remains important for future generations.
Whether you’re seriously interested in art or simply curious about how something is created, take some time to stop and watch the demonstrations.
