THE CHARLES J. CONNICK Stained Glass Foundation is organizing an exhibition of the work of Charles J. Connick Associates (1912-1986), a leading American maker of stained glass in the Gothic revival tradition. In 1912 Charles J. Connick (1875-1945) established a studio in Boston. During Connick Associates' years of operation, it produced more than five thousand objects commissioned across the country by churches, libraries, and hospitals, including the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and Saint Patrick's Cathedral, both in New York City, and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The exhibition, entitled Adventures in Light and Color: Charles J. Connick Associates, Workers in Stained Glass, will also include a catalogue and possibly a CD-ROM or DVD. The project director requests that students of art and architecture and clergy and members of churches with information on Connick stained glass contact
