FAGCA Annual Convention
Our 2026 Convention Theme
50 Years of Memories
Tuesday July 28 through Thursday July 30, 2026
This year's inclusive theme celebrates 50 years of Fenton Art Glass Collectors of America. The sky is the limit for those setting up a display table. This will be planned for you by convention co-chairs Ruth Ann Cox and CC Hardman. Festivities will take place once again at Marietta Shrine Club, a beautiful facility located at 249 Pennsylvania Avenue in Marietta (near the fairgrounds). This is a wonderful venue in a beautiful setting, right along the Muskingum River. We feel this location serves our growing needs perfectly and will afford our members the freedom to choose lodging which best suits them.
