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.
