The Chrysler Museum Perry Glass Studio partners with Old Dominion University and the Barry Art Museum to welcome renowned citizen artist vanessa german as part of their Higher Education Visiting Artist Series. Working at the intersection of sculpture, performance, and communal ritual, german transforms found materials—glass, beads, crystals, and everyday objects—into expressive power figures that radiate healing, passion, love, and collective transformation. Drawing from precolonial and African diasporic traditions, her practice invites us to consider art as both vessel and catalyst for spiritual and communal renewal.
During her visit, german will work with students in our college and high school programs, be featured in our Glass After Dark Series and engage the public through live glass demonstrations and an artist talk, sharing her process and exploring how creativity can serve as a powerful force for connection and collective healing.
The Visiting Artist Series was created to bring world-class artists in the field of glass to our region, to promote glass education, and to attract broad interest in and enthusiasm for the Chrysler and its Glass Studio. The series is an invitation to work at the glass studio for four days, usually taking place from Thursday-Sunday. During this focused time the artists are involved in a range of activities, which could include demonstrations and lectures at the Glass Studio for Museum visitors and the public, special demonstrations and discussions for local high school and college students, visits and social events with museum donors and local collectors, and video/audio recording for the Chrysler’s website and archives.
Noon Demonstration by Visiting Artist: vanessa german.

This concert for kids and families shares the music of the artist named above with a new generation of music lovers, but is not associated with or endorsed by the artist. All children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
The Rock and Roll Playhouse knows that little ears are sensitive, so we turn down the volume at our shows. However, all kids experience music differently and you may find that your child is more comfortable wearing hearing protection earmuffs, such as Baby Banz, which are available for purchase here.
