The International Glass Alliance is an organization founded in 2010 to preserve the rich traditions of glassmaking and glass education in the Czech Republic, promote the glassmaking region's standing as an economic, artistic and cultural center in the Czech Republic and throughout the world and serve as a platform for international exchange between glass artists, scholars, students, collectors and enthusiasts.
