Jessica Fuentes and Nicholas Frank discuss the art of writing obituaries for Glasstire and the generational shifts we are witnessing as young leaders step into new roles across Texas. “Rainy Knudson, the founder of Glasstire, told me, ‘I think that when we lose somebody in an art community, it's just a passage to the next generation. In the larger sense, the more of these you experience, the more you really see the continuum over generations; and how each of us plays our role during some section of that continuum.’” See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2025/11/28/art-dirt-obituaries-and-generational-shifts If you enjoy Glasstire and would like to support our work, please consider donating.
