Free Admission to the Glass Show This Weekend

Everyone in the MCC Community is able to get free admission to the 2018 Vintage Glass & Collectibles Show & Sale this coming weekend.

The event, sponsored by the non-profit Depression Glass Club of Greater Rochester, runs from

  • 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15
  • 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16

This is the only Depression Glass show remaining in Western New York, and it's a great opportunity for students to learn more about the intersection of history, art, and commerce.

Each afternoon, there will be an educational program about vintage glass animal figurines. In addition, the show part of the event, "Nature in Glass," will feature displays of vintage glassware in the shape of natural elements, such as dolphins or flowers, or etched or painted with motifs like birds or leaves.

The sale itself includes not only Depression-Era glass, but also elegant glassware, antique china, vintage pottery, linens, silverware, and other small collectibles. National dealers and local experts will also be on hand to help identify pieces of vintage glass, so attendees may bring in one or two items for possible identification.

Admission is $5 for the general public, which covers both Saturday and Sunday, but everyone in our College community can get in for free this year. Just let them know you're with MCC when you enter. (Also, guests 18 and younger are always admitted free.)

The event is being held in the Eisenhart Auditorium of the Rochester Museum and Science Center, 657 East Ave. The building is handicapped accessible, and parking is free.
