5.4: Glassworks Tower
Support the Glassworks Tower. Other Information:
Opened on 24 May 2007, the Canberra Glassworks had over 80,000 visitors in its first 12 months, with 70 artists represented
and 65 artists using the facility. The Canberra Glassworks has supported master classes and residencies with national and
international artists, and has provided much-needed glass-working facilities for local and visiting artists. An additional
icon in the Kingston Foreshore precinct will be the Glassworks Tower, which will symbolise the former Kingston Powerhouse
smokestack and be a unique marker for Kingston’s arts and cultural precinct and an important link to the city’s past. During
2009, expressions of interest will be sought from artists to design the Glassworks Tower. The cost of the $430,000 project
will be met by the ACT Government with contributions from ActewAGL and the Land Development Agency.
