CONTEMPORARY GLASS. You can cast glass, you can blow glass, you can create remarkable glass sculpture covering the color spectrum. Well, maybe you can’t, but Michael Petry, Dale Chihuly, Nicole Chesney, and Daniel Clayman can, and their work has had a collective impact on the contemporary glass art movement. Through July 3.
