Pathfinders: Paving the Glass Revolution in the U.S.
APRIL 11th - JULY 14th
Opening reception APRIL 11th, 5-7pm
Produced in partnership with the Sandwich Glass Museum and in consultation with the New Bedford Museum of Glass, Pathfinders: Paving the Glass Revolution in the U.S. chronicles the impact of Dale Chihuly's influence in the studio glass movement.
Chihuly's founding of the Pilchuck School - a place that has nurtured and schooled a community of artists in glass art techniques for more than 50 years - along with his visionary deployment of glass in the creation of monumental environmental sculpture, cemented a new legitimacy for the medium as a vehicle for fine art. The exhibition includes leaders in the world of glass sculpture from the 1960s up to contemporary glass artists.
