Pilchuck Celebrates is the annual tradition of bringing the school's most ardent supporters together. Attendance is by invitation-only. At each celebration, Pilchuck Glass School honors a distinguished artist with the Libenský | Brychtová Award or a philanthropic leader with the Patron of the Arts Award.
The Libenský | Brychtová Award acknowledges extraordinary talent and high achievement in the world of contemporary glass. To determine recipients for this award, a jury is comprised of previous awardees. This jury considers an artist’s prominent standing in the world of contemporary glass, artistic achievement and educational leadership. Historically, the award has also acknowledged the teaching and ambassadorial contributions recipients have made to Pilchuck. The Libensky-Brychtova Award is the most significant artistic accolade that an artist can receive from Pilchuck Glass School.
The Patron of the Arts Award is given to those individuals whose leadership and philanthropic contributions have impacted Seattle, national, and/or international arts communities.
This event is made possible thanks to our partnership with Chihuly Garden and Glass.
