I am excited to be joining the festival again this year. Celebrating fine and functional art from more than 100 juried artists, the 2023 ACGA Clay & Glass Festival in Palo Alto will take place July 13-14 at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell Road. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is free. Valet parking will be available, and there will be food trucks. See a sneak preview of the artists’ art at www.clayglassfestival.com.
