CALL FOR 100 Moments: Season 7
One of SAMA’s most impactful programs for members is returning for its seventh season this year as part of a multi-organizational collaborative celebration of contemporary art!
For over 10 years, The One Hundred Moments Project has been a captivating, non-juried collection of work representing the full spectrum of SAMA’s diverse membership. This program has been featured at SAMA events in Chicago, Boston, Nashville, Greater Detroit, Kansas City, and Orlando. This year, it will return as a multimedia event featuring work by members of our Partners in the Arts, The Stained Glass Association of America, The Glass Art Society (opens new window), and the International Society of Glass Bead Makers (opens new window).
For 2026, the rolling exhibit will travel to Corning, New York, to be featured at the world-renowned Rakow Library at the Corning Museum of Glass (opens new window), May 9 – June 7, 2026, and then onto a new annex of the Pittsburgh Glass Center (opens new window), the Pittsburgh Glass Corner Gallery, June 26 – September 25, 2026. The collection will be on view for over 5 Months and will be complemented by a renewal of the 100 Moments Online Gallery.
What's included in the kit?
The 100 Moments Kit for stained, painted, or fused glass will arrive in a reusable USPS Priority Mail box. Please open the package carefully; this same box will be used to return your completed work. Be sure to keep all original packing materials to ensure your piece travels safely back to SAMA HQ.
Once we receive your finished piece, it will be displayed in a custom lightbox. To ensure a perfect fit, please follow all instructions and use the included template closely.
Your Glass Panel Kit includes an instruction sheet, 6" x 6" template, pre-cut zinc framing, and one pair of Handy Hangers hardware.
We are inviting SAMA, SGAA, GAS, and ISGB Members to create a 6” x 6” work from one of two project frame kit options:
- The Mosaic Panel Kit will include one 6″ x 6″ EZframe with substrate and hanging hardware.
- The Glass Panel Kit will include pre-cut zinc framing and hanging hardware for a 6” x 6” soldered square and template.
We are not limiting the number of participants, but we will restrict each artist to one panel. Participation is exclusive to all active SAMA, SGAA, GAS, and ISGB Members.
The Online Gallery will feature each work and offer artists the opportunity to sell their work directly from the project website managed by SAMA.
100 Moments Highlights from Season 5
100 Moments Season 5
SAMA was able to relaunch their hugely popular “100 Moments” exhibition series in 2024. The season opened in June 2025 with an online, virtual gallery (opens new window) and traveled in its entirety to the following cities:
- Buffalo, NY
- Detroit, MI
- Kansas City, MO
Th exhibition kicked off in Buffalo, NY with the SGAA Facet & Forge event with works by SGAA and SAMA members from around the world — across stained glass, mosaic, and fused glass.
The show then traveled to Janice Charach Gallery in West Bloomfield, Michigan in conjunction with the SAMA Symposium and then wrapped up the season at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri for the 113th annual SGAA Conference there.
Thank you to our SGAA Members who participated in 100 Moments Season 5
