Chihuly Tour at the de Young Museum

FRIDAY JuLY 11, 2008 – 5:30 P.M.

Come join us for a tour of the Chihuly Exhibit at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.

Dale Chihuly has been working in glass since 1965 when he enrolled in the first glass program in the country at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design where he later established the glass program and taught for a decade.

In 1968 he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to work in the Venini Factory in Venice. In 1971 he co-founded Pilchuck Glass School in Washington where he led the Avant-Garde in the development of glass as a fine art.

His many creations have been installed in hotels such as Bellagio and the Wynn Las Vegas, and numerous installations all over the world.

The Garden, Baskets, Persians, and Seaforms are all included in this special exhibition in eleven galleries at the de Young–some works not having been viewed since 1972.

Come join us for a very special tour. We will be accompanied by an audio tour recorded by Dale Chihuly himself. We will meet at 5:30 PM at the Front Desk of the Museum and pick up our tickets from our Board members. All tickets must be paid for in advance. The audio tours will be distributed at the same time.

We are allowed a Maximum of 75 attendees (Maybe a few more, so please RSVP early. The Deadline is July 8, 2008.)
