Chihuly December 9, 2008

Renowned artist and RISD alumnus Dale Chihuly (MFA Ceramics 1968; former RISD faculty) has created a site-specific installation to inaugurate the special exhibition gallery in The Chace Center. A massive work composed of many of his signature hand-blown glass components, the riot of sculptural forms is of a scale and energy unlike anything seen before in New England. This unique work fills the Museum’s newest and largest gallery (4,000 square feet). This exhibition in the adjacent gallery (2,400) is complemented by Studio Glass in Rhode Island: The Chihuly Years, a showing of works by glass artists who were students of Chihuly.
