End of the Day Chandelier, CHIHULY: Venice 2026

Event organised by Pilchuck Glass School and Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

In collaboration with Chihuly Studio

Thirty years after transforming Venice with his 1996 project "Chihuly Over Venice", Dale Chihuly returns with three new sculptures installed within sight of the Accademia Bridge along the Grand Canal. "CHIHULY: Venice 2026" brings these new works together with archival materials, objects, and documentation presented at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti. The exhibition traces a pivotal chapter in Chihuly’s practice and its continued impact.
