The mission of the Charles J. Connick Stained Glass Foundation, Ltd. is to promote the true understanding of the glorious medium of color and light and to preserve and perpetuate the Connick tradition of stained glass.

News and Events

ALERT! It has come to the attention of the Connick Foundation that certain stained glass firms are offering “free” advice to churches, which promotes needless and costly re-leading of their windows.  A word of warning.

Honorary Director Peter Cormack’s stellar book, Arts & Crafts Stained Glass, may be found here, along with a review by the Foundation’s former president Albert Tannler. A review by trustee of the Scottish Stained Glass Trust Dr. Elizabeth Cumming may be found here.

Inquiries regarding the records of the Charles J Connick or Connick Associates Studios should be made directly to the Connick Collection of the Boston Public Library Fine Arts Department or the Connick Collection of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Rotch Library.

The Boston Public Library holds the extensive document and design archives of the Connick Studio, as well as panels, photographs and other studio artifacts. Many Connick designs are available to view online. To examine correspondence, files or other pieces of the collection, please contact the Fine Arts Department 617-859-2275; fineartsref@bpl.org.

The Connick Collection at MIT’s Rotch Library has been digitized and is accessible online. This collection includes job files, which are a good starting point for researching your windows. To view original items, please contact MIT Distinctive Collections to make an appointment.

The Connick Foundation mourns the passing of Director Lance Kasparian in March, 2026. We greatly his countless contributions and we will sorely miss his profound scholarship.
