CHIHULY: Venice 2026
Dale Chihuly presents CHIHULY: Venice 2026, marking thirty years since his landmark Chihuly Over Venice project. New large-scale glass sculptures are installed along the Grand Canal, reactivating the artist’s long-standing dialogue with the city’s light, water, and architectural fabric.
An accompanying interpretive and archival exhibition at Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, curated by Suzanne Geiss, contextualises both the historic 1990s intervention and the new works. Presented by Pilchuck Glass School and Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, the exhibition traces Chihuly’s enduring influence on contemporary glass and site-specific installation.
