A prolific artist whose work is easily identified by his use of intense color and delicate linear decoration, Chihuly has been widely credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement, which traces its origins to 1962 when ceramics professor Harvey Littleton and chemist Dominik Labino began experimenting with various glassblowing techniques at the Toledo Museum of Art.
Chihuly was Littleton's student at the University of Wisconsin, then went to RISD to found its own glass blowing program.
Chihuly is on view through October 29, 2017, and tickets for Chihuly Nights are available for Thursday through Sunday evenings from 6:30 to 10:30. Non-member tickets are $38, children $18; discounted tickets for members.
