His glass has been selected for many traveling exhibitions, including those circulated by the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Ohio Arts Council and the Toledo Museum of Art.

His one-man shows include the Corning Museum exhibit "Dominick Labino -- A Retrospective Exhibition 1964 - 1969," and "Dominick Labino, A Decade of Glass Craftsmanship, 1964 - 1974" which opened at the Pilkington Glass Museum and was later shown at the Victoria & Albert, the Toledo Museum of Art and other museums.

Labino's commissioned works include the polychrome glass mural "Vitrana" which stands at the entrance to the New Glass Gallery at the Toledo Museum of Art. The mural of hot-cast panels with free-hand molten inlay was designed especially for the museum and was shown for the first time at the gallery's opening in 1970.

In 1973 Labino was commissioned by the Boston Museum to make six glass bells to restore the Museum's glass armonica, an instrument invented in 1762 by Benjamin Franklin.

After making and tuning the bells, Labino decided to make a complete instrument and did so in 1974. Shown at the Smithsonian in 1978 - 1979 in the exhibit "The Harmonious Craft: American Musical Instruments," Labino's armonica has a motor to turn the shaft, on which the bells are mounted horizontally, and, instead of being tuned to a "well-tuned harpsichord" as Franklin advised, was tuned electronically.
