Ausglass is committed to inclusivity and to celebrating diversity through its membership base, activities, and board. We encourage membership and participation from glass artists and supporters of Australian glass regardless of their race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, gender, class, and physical abilities. All members and participants in our events are expected to respect and adhere to our principles of diversity and inclusion.
Ausglass acknowledges the traditional owners throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, culture and community. This includes the owners on whose lands we and our members live, work, and meet. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
