CHIHULY: Venice 2026

Thirty years after his groundbreaking project  Chihuly Over Venice , internationally renowned artist  Dale Chihuly  returns to  Venice  —the city that has profoundly shaped his artistic journey—with  CHIHULY: Venice 2026. Promoted by the  Pilchuck Glass School  and the  Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park , the project unfolds around three new monumental sculptures installed along the  Grand Canal , conceived as an expression of a renewed and enduring dialogue with the city, the original source of his inspiration. The installations will be accompanied by an exhibition, research and archival center housed at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, opening  May 5, 2026  , coinciding with the Venice Biennale.
