ABOUT
THE IGAN MISSION
The Indigenous Glass Art Network, IGAN, is a global virtual network with the mission to support and encourage indigenous artists to express their creative vision in glass. The new, non-profit organization based in Seattle is a hub to connect artists and supporters and build a global community. The initial effort is to create a web site serving as the backbone for IGAN.
