This piece of Chihuly glass is on display at the Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

Dale Chihuly is a glass artist who has had a Northwest studio for decades, directing the artistic creation of glassworks. He is known worldwide.

Chihuly creates unexpected experiences in unlikely places. He has presented formidable and complex public exhibitions all over the world – from Venice, to Jerusalem, to Montreal. 

From 1994 to 1996, the artist worked with glassblowers in Finland, Ireland, Mexico, and Italy to create Chihuly Over Venice, a series of Chandeliers which he hung over canals and in piazzas of his favorite city. 

Four years later, Chihuly’s most ambitious public exhibition, Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000, was seen by more than one million visitors to the Tower of David Museum.
