SUPPORT

 

Since The Salmon School's beginning, many have asked about purchasing a salmon to support the project. As this global environmental advocacy effort spreads, we would like to offer a unique opportunity to help grow The Salmon School — on the Museum of Glass Hot Shop floor.

On September 9 and 10, the Museum of Glass - Tacoma will be hosting a fish-making event, with its team of skilled makers working with community members to craft this symbol of global environmental recovery. You can get involved in the following ways: 

Clicking on any of the links below directs you to our fiscal sponsor, Starworks, where you can make your tax-deductible sponsorship or donation. 

If you would like to participate in the fish-making event at Museum of Glass on September 9 or 10, please make sure to reserve a time with Sophie Engle (sengle@museumofglass.org or 253.284.2121).

1. Make or sponsor a breeding pair of fish – $5000. You can help form a glass fish that will become part of the Museum of Glass exhibition The Salmon School: The Joseph Rossano Salmon Project.

If you are unable to participate in person, but would like to sponsor a breeding pair, Joseph can form your salmon. Shipping is not included.

If you decide to sponsor a breeding pair or a fish for the upcoming exhibition, please be sure to provide a valid email so we can confirm your preferred display option and shipment details. By choosing one of these sponsorship options, you acknowledge that you will be responsible for covering the cost of shipping or arranging to pick up your fish in person.

DISPLAY YOUR SALMON
