PATHFINDERS: Paving the Glass Revolution in the U.S
APRIL 11th - JULY 14th

Opening reception April 11th 5-7pm

Produced in partnership with the New Bedford Museum of Glass, Rhode Island School of Design's Glass Department, and the Sandwich Glass Museum, Pathfinders: Paving the Glass Revolution in the U.S. chronicles the revolutionary impact Dale Chihuly and his peers had in reshaping the view of glass from the realm of craft into a valid artistic medium for sculpture.

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 1960’s up to present-day graduate students at RISD.

Participating Artists Include:
