SAGAG March General Meeting 
has been CANCELLED

San Antonio Glass Art Guild's Response to COVID-19:

Dear SAGAG Members,

Because you, our members, are at the heart of everything we do as an organization, we take our responsibility seriously to keep you as safe and healthy as possible. In this light, we are cancelling our March meeting, and hope to reschedule our McNay glass tour at a future date. 

We will reassess the situation in the coming days, and we are exploring technology to provide “virtual” meetings and/or tutorials for future programs, should that be necessary.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding, as we all work to support each other in these trying times.

The SAGAG Board
