The Stained Glass Association of America

Can't imagine a world without stained glass? Neither can we! 

At our heart, the SGAA is an energetic community of studios and individuals that love stained glass. We are advocates and ambassadors, professionals and aficionados. Members enjoy access to industry benefits, our award winning magazine, historical archives, and products and services that support practice and professional development.

In addition, the SGAA has the distinct honor of being the only accrediting body for architectural stained glass in the United States. We maintain Standards and Guidelines for the Preservation of Stained (and Leaded) Glass Windows that we may ensure the best possible stewardship or our nation’s art glass treasures for the next generations.
