Ignition Community Glass (ICG) is a Chicago-based nonprofit retail art supply initiative founded in 2014 by educators, artists, and social justice advocates with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and youth development through hands-on glass making. Operating within the retail art supplies sector, ICG centers on providing access to glass art experiences as a means to foster positive development and engagement for young people and the broader community. The organization collaborates with partners to expand art programming, exemplified by a 2017 partnership with Chicago Youth Centers to deliver glass art activities for youth. With a small team, ICG positions itself as a local community-oriented contributor to the arts ecosystem in Chicago, leveraging direct participation in glass making to support learning and creativity. The organization is based in Chicago, Illinois, and maintains a presence online through its website.
