Immerse yourself in a 1920s “steampunk”brindustrial area-themed night to remember at the annual Glass on thebrTracks XVI Art + Fire Demolition event November 7,br7PM-10PM. Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Gallery is taking the ancient art formbrof creating one-of-a-kind, hand-blown glass art outdoors with an evening ofbrfood, beverages, and more.
Walking through the transformed Vetro parkingbrlot alongside the Vintage Railroad, you will have the chance to see livebrglassblowing demonstrations, flameworking and a blacksmith as if you werebrexperiencing Grapevine in the 1920s. But, prepare for yourself for the mostbranticipated portion of the night – the famous “truth or consequences” auction.brSelect hand-blown glass vessels are displayed in a boxcar gallery next to thebrtrain depot in historic downtown Grapevine and a patron is randomly selectedbrfrom the crowd to participate. Answer a trivia question about Vetro correctlybrand win an art piece! But answer it incorrectly, watch the bidding go for 30brseconds, but if the highest bid doesn't beat the pre-determined price, thebrpiece is smashed before the crowd in the jaws of the “glass guillotine!” Or playbrit safe and join the raffle by purchasing the $10 available raffle tickets tobrwin a Vetro hand-blown glass fluted bowl filled with ornaments ($250 value)brthat night! You must be present to win.
Don't forget to come in your best 1920s orbrsteampunk attire for the costume contest! Go all out and take home the winningbrprize as you travel back in time next to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad TrainbrDepot and industrial artists.

“In typical Vetro fashion, we want to make Glassbron the Tracks bigger and better, so we're reaching out to our friends, patronsbrand local businesses with opportunities to get involved and learn more aboutbrglass art,” said Vetro founder David Gappa. “Our goal has always been to makebrthis a community event with an art twist.”
