温暖每一颗孤独的小星星

作为博物馆这一重要的社会文化机构，上海玻璃博物馆除了承担展示、教育、收藏基本的功能职责外，关注社会群体、肩负社会责任也是义不容辞。在过去的五年间，上海玻璃博物馆都努力为那些心怀梦想的人们献出了一份微薄的爱心。我们曾携手公益组织“宝贝之家”，呼吁社会对需要手术的患病和残疾儿童关心；又与上海盛立公益基金会举办“live玻璃心”关爱儿童心灵成长公益活动，关注沪上农民工子弟学生。我们大力支持爱心科普基地联盟，向广大无偿献血者敞开科学大门；也关心当下青年艺术学生生存状况，与慈善团体Quest合作，通过艺术品拍卖方式，资助中国贫困艺术生出国深造。我们希望，每个人能在博物馆里实现自己的美好梦想，一个个小梦想如溪流般汇聚成河，最终铸造成一份更瑰丽更宏大的愿景和幸福。

孩子们自然是在最好的做梦年龄，每个人心中都或多或少富有灵性的小火花，“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”活动也正是为了将孩子们的纯真想法和妙笔生花变为现实，实现他们心中的点滴火花。在2016年“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”招募活动所获得的数千幅绘画中，我们意外地收到了来自某地患有自闭症孩子们的画作，借此才第一次切身地了解了自闭症的相关情况和这些特殊孩子们的梦想。这些平时看起来和一般孩童无异的小天使们，却可能连最基本的生活行为都不能自己完成。他们沉默，孤僻，容易紧张，害怕嘈杂，但又有奇妙的绘画天赋和才能。这些孩子们仿佛如遥远夜空中的星星。明亮，引人注目，但却遥不可及。

借由此因，在2017年，“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”决意将更多目光投注到这群可爱的孩子身上。我们与“青聪泉儿童智能训练中心“合作，在此展出孩子们的画作，这些看似熟练而自如的笔触，奇幻而富有生机的意境背后是这群孩子们、家长们和关爱他们的人们日复一日的努力和坚持。梦想，从不分人群，也无论年龄。世界上没有两片相同的树叶，每个孩子都是上天馈赠的特别礼物。我们希望有更多人能关爱这些孤独的星星们，帮助他们实现心中的梦想和对未来的期盼。

也许，每个人都是一颗孤独的星星，需要找到茫茫银河中的位置。 但，我们相信，每个人更是一颗独一无二的星星，只要有爱与沟通，也终将能散发与众不同的光芒。

Give Each Kid A Chance

Museums are important socio-cultural institutions, and in addition to carrying out its basic function and responsibilities in exhibiting, educating, and collecting, SHMOG is also duty-bound to devote its attention to social groups and fulfill its social responsibility. Over the past five years, SHMOG has strived to give a little love to people with dreams in their hearts. We teamed up with Shanghai NGO Baby Home, calling on the public to show concern for sick, disabled children in need of operations. Together with the Shanghai Sheng Li Foundation, we also held the Live Glass Heart, a charity event devoted to children’s spiritual growth that focused on students who are the children of migrant workers in Shanghai. We’ve put a lot of support behind the Love Science Alliance, throwing open the doors of science to the large amount of people who give blood for free. And we’ve also focused on the living conditions of young students, working with the Quest charity and using an art auction to provide the funds for poor art students to study abroad. Our hope is that everyone will be able to make their own beautiful dreams a reality in the museum. If, like tributaries, each little dream combines to make a river, then the result will be a vision and happiness that are even more far-reaching and magnificent.

Childhood is, naturally, the best age for dreaming. To a greater or lesser extent, all of us have many spiritual sparks within our hearts. The Kids Design Class event is specifically created to turn children’s pure thought and angelic writings into a reality, bringing the sparks in their hearts alive. Among the thousands of paintings we received for the opening ceremony of the Kids Design Glass event, we were surprised to find pictures from autistic children around China. These paintings taught us more about the circumstances of autistic children and the dreams of these special children. Though they usually look no different from other children, these little angels are incapable of doing even the most basic everyday tasks by themselves. They’re quiet, isolated, get anxious easily, and are afraid of noisy places – but they have a wonderful gift and talent for painting. These kids are like far-off stars in the night sky: Bright, striking, but out of reach.

As a result, in 2017, Kids Design Glass has decided to devote more attention to these lovable kids. In collaboration with Qingcongquan Children’s Training Centre, we have been exhibiting the kids’ artworks. Their strokes seemingly skillful and confident, these fantastic, richly vibrant works are the product of days of effort and perseverance by the children, their parents, and those who love them. Dreams don’t distinguish between age and social group. No two leaves in the world are the same. Every child is a special gift bestowed by the heavens. We hope that more people will show concern for these lonesome little stars, helping them achieve the dreams and hopes for the future in their hearts.

Perhaps, every one of us is a lonely star that to find its own place in the vast galaxy. Yet, we also believe that each person is also a unique star that, with love and communication, will radiate its own special light.

天才玻璃梦想家自第二季招募启动以来已经历经6个月，这次我们一共收到了来自全国各地的超过一千幅精彩各异的投稿作品。目前，上海玻璃博物馆和美国塔科马玻璃博物馆已经共同完成了最终将会被制作成玻璃艺术品的20幅作品的选择，一起来看看天才玻璃梦想家们的天才画作吧！

2016年12月11日上午9点，上海玻璃博物馆邀请了此次获奖的小朋友们来到上海玻璃博物馆内，与美国塔科马博物馆进行视频连线活动。通过屏幕，小朋友们了解到自己的作品是如何用玻璃一步步做出来的，艺术家在制作过程中，小朋友们也会随时提出自己的小问题，又或者是给出心中的小建议。为什么一定要做视频连线的活动呢？除了想让小朋友们亲眼看到自己的画作用玻璃做出来，还有一个原因就是给艺术家和创作小作者一个交流的机会，我们大洋彼岸的艺术家也会有问题哦~

据悉，这最终制作完成的20件玻璃艺术作品将会在2017年春天运抵上海玻璃博物馆并和大家见面，一起来期待下吧！新的一年，上海玻璃博物馆天才玻璃梦想家项目将会继续大放异彩，请关注我们后续活动讯息发布，敬请期待！

It has been 6 months since the launching the recruiting of Kids Design Glass 2.0 , this time we have received more than one thousand different wonderful works from all over the country. At present,  Shanghai Museum of Glass and Tacoma Glass Museum of America have finished choosing 20 works that will finally be made into the glass. Let’s take a look at the genius glass dreamers and their paintings!

9 p.m. on December 11, 2016, Shanghai Museum of Glass, invited the award-winner come to the museum and have a video connection with Tacoma Glass Museum in America .Through the screen, the children learned that how their work is  made by glass step by step. When the artist is in the process of production, the children can also ask their own little questions at any time, or the given tips. Why do we must do the activities of the video attachment? For another reason, we want to not only let the children see their painting made into glass, but also give the artist the opportunity to communicate with the little author, and our artist across the ocean also have some questions to ask.

It is reported, these eventually completed 20 pieces of glass works of art will arrive in Shanghai Museum of Glass in the spring of 2017 and you can meet them at that time, let us look forward together! In the new year, the project of Kids Design Glass will continue to shine, please pay attention to our subsequent release information!
