Great Glass Pumpkin Patch Goes Online

Who doesn’t love a pumpkin patch? Especially one made of thousands of hand-crafted glass pumpkins! For 25 years, the Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI) and the Palo Alto Art Center have sponsored California’s largest Great Glass Pumpkin Patch on the grounds of the Art Center, drawing thousands of visitors from around the country every year. More than 25 artists take months to hand-blow and hand-craft the more than 10,000 beautiful glass pumpkins, which range from teeny-tiny to gargantuan. The pumpkins come in all colors and various shapes.  In 2020, the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch will be a bit different – it will be presented online only, from Sept. 24th through Oct. 4th. But that means you can shop at our special Great Glass Pumpkin Patch site 24/7 and find the best pumpkins for you! The artists, whose sales have been affected by COVID-19 this year, will greatly appreciate your patronage and generosity. A percentage of the sales will benefit BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation.
