The Next Generation of Studio Glass

Throughout his more than 40 year career, Dale Chihuly has pushed the boundaries of color and form exponentially raising the art world’s appreciation of the medium of glass.  His success paved the way for other studio glass artists to further push the boundaries of traditional glass work. This exhibit is produced in collaboration with Habatat Galleries.
