    This beloved Bay Area autumn tradition - and the largest glass pumpkin patch of its kind in Northern California is sure to please!Visitors are invited to wander through an incredible artistic installation of thousands of one-of-a-kind glass pumpkins as well as other unique glass art objects that permanently capture the many facets and beauty of nature. Created by top glass artists from across California, each work of art will be available for purchase and supports not only local artists, but key art initiatives and education programs at BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center. Also returning to the patch this year is the live artistry of Barry and Susan Farley of Mercury Rising Studios (formerly Fast Glass), based in Fallbrook, California, who will present extraordinary glass blowing demonstrations utilizing the latest techniques on-site.

    For BAGI, the Patch makes glass art more accessible to all. It also helps provide continued artistic, educational and intellectual support to patrons, artists and the community. The event also benefits participating artists by helping them to generate income while providing them with positive visibility and exposure to a greater audience. For the Palo Alto Art Center and Foundation, a portion of the proceeds benefit children's art education programs including: Project LOOK!, a docent-led education tour program for grades K-5; the Carrie Abramovitz Scholarship program for artistically talented students; and, the popular “Family Days” featuring hands-on art activities for the whole family.
