ARTIST BLOW-OUTS

A True Cultural Phenomenon

Each year we bring in 4-5 visiting artists from around the world to dazzle and astound our audiences.  Our Artist Blow-Outs have become a cultural phenomenon that has truly ignited the community's imagination in a very tangible way.  Attendees are so excited by what they are seeing that they often relate their excitement with others in the crowd, thus fostering a palpable comaraderie with fellow participants! 

Below you can see 11th century Master Murano glassblower, Davide Salvadore with a team of ten assistants performing to a packed house.  Notice the intermingling of the crowd with each other and the assistants.  Nowhere else can participants get this close and personal with the process.  In most major hot shops there is mezzanine seating far away from the action.  At Benzaiten you can feel the heat!  These fiery, muscular demonstrations are like nothing you've seen before!

General admission is $25.  For reserved, premium seating it is $50.  Go to our 'Visiting Artists' page to see this season's upcoming lineup to reserve and pay for your seats.  We cap seating at 150 people, and these events are often sold out! So don't wait!

We provide a nice spread of nibbles plus two drink tickets.
