Creative Glass LAB and Czech glassmaking exhibitions

Overview

The Creative Glass LAB international event was scheduled to take place from October 15 to 18, 2026, in Belgrade and Paraćin, Serbia. The initiative aimed to preserve former Yugoslavia glassmaking heritage through various programs, including the ‘Dialogues on Creative Glass’ conference and international residencies at Grza in Paraćin involving domestic and foreign artists and major glass producers.

Following the forum, the traveling exhibition ‘Crystal Valley – The Eighth Wonder of the World’ debuted at the Czech Center in Belgrade. Running through December 13, 2026, the exhibition showcases the glassmaking and jewelry artistry of the Liberec Region. The display highlights the intersection of traditional hand-blown glass—a practice inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—with modern industrial production and technological innovation.
