Welcome Spring at Free March 2300° Event
Corning, NY –The Corning Museum of Glass welcomes spring on Thursday, March 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a free event, 2300°: Spring Equinox. This spring-themed evening will feature glassmaking demonstrations, live Irish music, and plenty of food and drink.

Artist Marc Petrovic, whose work is often inspired by the natural world, will come from Connecticut to explore the beauty of nature through his colorful glass creations on the Hot Glass Show Stage.

The Town Pants, a Vancouver, Canada-based band, combines aspects of Irish traditional, acoustic pop, roots Americana, even Australian and Mexican influences, to create their own unique brand of “West Coast Celtic.”

Refreshing spring-themed food will be available for purchase, along with a bounty of complimentary hors d’oeuvres. A free shuttle bus will run from the Museum’s main parking lot off Rt. 17/I-86, exit 46, until 8:30 p.m.
