We propose the realization of an artistic event, with the aim of promoting and disseminating the technique of leaded and enameled stained glass to put it in value. We are three Argentine stained glass artists and our proposal seeks to publicize the traditional stained glass technique expressed in the contemporary languages of art, giving importance to the art of grisaille. We would make an exhibition with contemporary stained glass.
