The Adele and Leonard Leight Glass Art Award – Victoria Ahmadizadeh Melendez

Victoria Ahmadizadeh Melendez (American, born 1988), the inaugural recipient of the biennial Adele and Leonard Leight Glass Art Award, will unveil her unique, Speed-commissioned installation work in the original 1927 building’s Gallery 1—a fitting venue for the launch of the Leight Award and its critical support for younger artists who work with glass.
