Expanding Light Through Glass Art
A capital campaign to move SiNaCa into a 14,000-square-foot public glass arts center in Downtown Arlington.
Why now
A mission that outgrew its home
For more than 15 years, SiNaCa Studios has been a place where glass becomes a doorway. Artists come to make and refine their work. Students try something they never imagined they could do. Families gather to watch heat, light, and color turn into something beautiful.
All of it has happened inside a 2,500-square-foot former gas station on Magnolia Avenue. That building carried SiNaCa through an important chapter. It cannot carry the next one.
The move to Downtown Arlington gives SiNaCa a home built on purpose: more room for artists and students, safer and better-equipped studios, real space for public demonstrations, and room for the partnerships that will shape the years ahead. This is more than a relocation. It is a strategic expansion of access.
