Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
He’s back. World-famous glass artist Dale Chihuly returns to the Valley with a new exhibition, “Chihuly in the Garden” at Desert Botanical Garden.
Whether you’ve seen these intricate, vibrant pieces on display in London, Paris or Seattle — or caught his last stop in town, “Chihuly: The Nature of Glass” in 2008 — this six-month long installaton offers plenty of chances to study every detail and spiral of his signature blown glass.
Expect plenty of red, yellow, and green hues that play with the desert’s fall light and mimic what lives in the garden. The garden itself is 140 acres and the art will be found throughout: dotting trails, hiding in plain sight.
Catch Chihuly daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday, May 18. Tickets are $22; discounted admission is available for members. Reservations are highly encouraged. Call 480-941-1225 or visit www.dbg.org.
Mondays-Sundays, 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Starts: Nov. 9. Continues through May 18, 2013
