On October 30th 7-9pm @urbanglass_nyc, join us for Grain: a dance performance + conversation about collaboration. For one night only, we’re sharing Grain set within Confluence, an exhibit by Anna Boothe and Nancy Cohen featuring sculptures and installations made primarily from recycled and/or repurposed glass. Both Confluence and Grain examine the history and precarious future of sand, the influence of water on sandscapes, and collaborations amongst artists. Following the show, you’re invited to linger over conversation and a reception. Tickets are on a sliding scale starting at $10 (see link in bio). we hope you can join us for this special interdisciplinary event!

Artists Anna Boothe and Nancy Cohen met more than twenty-five years ago, and that serendipitous meeting grew into a lasting collaboration. Confluence, their current show at UrbanGlass, features their new body of work. It grew out of joint research and material studies they began in 2024 during a Creative Glass Fellowship at WheatonArts in Millville, New Jersey, where they studied the region’s glassmaking history from the 18th century to the present, with emphasis on how the industry affected the local ecology, waterways, and inhabitants. As Dr. Ferris Olin notes in the exhibition essay, glassmakers settled along the Maurice River for the quality of its sand and its route to market. The industry grew alongside Philadelphia’s pharmaceutical companies and their need for glass containers, which helps explain why scientific glass is prominent in this work.
