Joseph BenVenuto: Translucent Legacy

Traver Gallery

Visit the Traver Gallery for Joseph BenVenuto: Translucent Legacy // Conversations In Glass, Friendship, and Practice, a group memorial exhibition of art by Joseph BenVenuto featuring select pieces by additional artists including Preston Singletary.

Joe BenVenuto (1963–2017) worked as Preston Singletary’s principal studio assistant for more than 15 years, while maintaining his own studio practice and cold working business.

Presented in collaboration with Lisa Liedgren and Preston Singletary, this exhibition traces Joe’s studio practice and the enduring, impactful role he played in the studio glass community.

Joe’s meticulously crafted, refined sculptures and fused glass panels reflect the colors and textures of that which inspired him the most – the beauty he found in nature.

Surrounding Joe’s exhibition will be a collection of works by 13 of Joe’s closest friends and collaborators, each one made in tribute to Joe and reflecting his lasting influence.

Joseph BenVenuto: Translucent Legacy // Conversations In Glass, Friendship, and Practice, is on view January 10th - February 28th, 2026 at the Traver Gallery.
