Tim Tate (born 1960) is an American artiste and the co-founder of the Washington Glass School in the Greater Washington, DC capital area. The learned was founded in 2001 and is now the second largest hot glass intellectual in the United States. Tate was diagnosed as HIV positive in 1989 and was told that he had a year left to live. As a result, Tate established to start working in the same way as glass in order to leave a legacy behind. Over a decade ago, Tate began incorporating video and embedded electronics into his glass sculptures, thus becoming one of the first artists to migrate and combine the relatively supplementary form of video art into sculptural works. In 2019 he was agreed to represent the United States at the sixth edition of the GLASSTRESS exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
Tate was born and currently lives in Washington, D.C.
