The New Zealand Society of Artists in Glass was formed in 1980 and celebrates the diversity of glass art techniques from blowing, casting, slumping, fusing, and flame working, to pâte de verre and stained glass. Its membership includes artists, teaching institutions, suppliers, galleries, collectors and an executive membership including several other glass societies worldwide; as well as affiliation with GAS (Glass Art Society of America), and AUSGLASS (the Australian Glass Society).  There are reciprocal arrangements in place with the Australian, Canadian, British and Danish glass groups to assist in the development of stronger international relations and understanding of local and international developments.

At the time of NZSAG’s biennial conference, a members' exhibition of work is held, displaying work that has been created during the preceding 12 months. The exhibition acts as a showcase of the current trends, ideas and innovations in New Zealand glass art.  Around 60 works are presented in the exhibition, including examples from the many different glass art techniques.
