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:
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. Donors will receive their own glass fish soon after its completion, while its mate joins the globetrotting school. 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.
2. Make or sponsor a fish for the exhibition – $3000/$2000/$1000. Help form a glass fish that will be included in the Museum of Glass exhibition The Salmon School: The Joseph Rossano Salmon Project. The fish will be returned to the purchaser upon the exhibition's completion. If you are unable to participate in-person, but would like to sponsor a fish for the exhibition, Joseph can form your salmon.
