From April 22 through Oct. 29, Dale Chihuly will host his first major garden art exhibition in New York in more than 10 years at the New York Botanical Garden.
Bank of America is presenting the exhibition, which will showcase 20 installations and include drawings and early works that reveal the evolution and development of Chihuly’s artistic process through his career. The vistas feature Chihuly’s signature shapes in vibrant colors.
Weekend celebrations, films, poetry and art programs for kids will feature colorful and imaginative tributes to nature. On CHIHULY Nights the artworks will be illuminated against NYBG’s vistas and conservatory.
