DAN KLEIN MEMORIAL - ARTIST DONATIONS
A message from Alan J. Poole:
Dear Artist,
Since Dan unexpectedly passed away at the end of June last year, numerous Artists have said that they would be delighted to donate a piece of their work for sale, the proceeds from which to go to the Dan Klein Memorial Fund which has been set up to honour his memory and to further his much loved project, North Lands Creative Glass.
Further to discussions with my fellow North Lands Directors and Advisory Board, we have decided that the simplest and easiest way to progress with this is if each artist selects a special piece of work at their own leisure, when they know of an exhibition that they are to participate in and, once the work has been sold, donate their part of the selling price to the Fund. If their gallery wishes to donate a part or all of their commission, all well and good, but obviously we feel it only fair to leave this to the gallery's discretion. Knowing how much Dan contributed to the world of contemporary/studio glass, both at home and internationally, I am sure that some galleries would be happy to participate.
No time scale need be involved and Artists could let us know when and where their exhibition would be taking place so that information could be sent out to buyers and museum curators, via my extensive email list (Dan Klein Associates), North Lands website and hopefully, the Artist's client base and websites too. An image of the piece would also be useful to circulate and for North Lands website information.
I do hope you feel that this is something that you might consider and would like to be a part of and we look forward to hearing back from you in the not too distant future.
I thank you in advance.
With all good wishes,
Alan J. Poole & The Directors Of North Lands Creative Glass.
For further enquiries and where to send both an image of your work and donations, please contact Lorna MacMillan at North Lands Creative Glass on Tel: 01593 721 229.

Become a National Glass Centre Exhibitor for a month!
The Friends’ Plinth is a small exhibition showcase located in our reception area, which is supported and developed by the Friends of National Glass Centre.
The Friends of NGC are looking for any Friends, visitors, artists and makers, those with an interest in glass, art or history to put forward an Expression of Interest to display their object or work in the Friends’ Plinth for a month.
The Friends’ Plinth is a blank canvas and the Friends are looking to showcase a wide variety of artworks, objects and ephemera, old and new, related to glass, the history of glass and glassmaking and Sunderland. The Friends want to show a diverse range of items, from student work, to glass in someone’s house, to an object or book. Anyone can apply and every Expression of Interest will be considered.
Items selected will be displayed in Friends’ Plinth for approximately one month and the owners or makers can have the opportunity to give a talk or hold a workshop if they want, supported by NGC staff.
Information
If you have work or an object you would like to display then it must fit the specifications of the plinth which are:
Base: 49cm x 47cm. Height: 42cm.
The plinth is covered by a transparent Perspex box to protect the work. In its current location items in the plinth can be viewed from 3 sides.
NGC will provide a loan agreement for the piece(s) of work/object(s) displayed and will insure items whilst they are on display.
NGC regrets that we are not able to offer any financial support towards artist fees, transport, travel or accommodation. Exhibitors will be responsible for transport to and from NGC and will need to be able to pay for any associated postage/transport costs. NGC cannot cover costs associated with supporting talks or events.
