Paradise City Special Exhibition at the Chihuly Collection

Through June 15

Chihuly Collection

720 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg St. Pete

Get Tickets
$20

Visual Art

Architecture and interior design have been crucial to Dale Chihuly’s work since the beginning of his career. His massive, site-specific installations are always created with the surrounding space in mind: think of Chihuly Over Venice, his ambitious project in which fourteen chandeliers were suspended over the canals and piazzas of that famous city. Then there was his 2000 project Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem, when he transformed the Tower of David Citadel with his colorful installations. A sense of place, whether it’s an urban setting, a museum, or a garden, is pivotal to how one views Chihuly’s work. 7278227872
