 Dale Chihuly exhibit Dallas Arboretum May to November 
Destination Expert   What's this?
for Dallas

I was really excited to learn about this coming installation at the Arboretum. If anyone is not familiar with this glass artist he is one of the premier glass artists (if not the premier artist) in the world.

They have lots of other events going on at this time, so it would be well worth planning a Dallas trip around this installation. If you're interested in going a bit further from Dallas, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art has a fabulous permanent collection of his work.

I have always wanted to see his Bridge of Glass in Tacoma. This is such a wonderful opportunity.

I just found this, too. The more I see about it the more fabulous it looks like it's going to be.

It turns out my hair stylist is good friends with some people who are sponsoring one of the exhibits at the Arboretum. I looked through the information she had and 8 x 11 photos of each planned installation. She gave me her copy of a two page photo brochure of the planned installation.

It's going to be really, really fabulous. I'm particularly looking forward to the evening shows.

For those of us who live in Dallas or plan repeat trips to the Arboretum you can't beat the membership for value. $100 membership is 100% tax deductible (for those who itemize charitable giving), you get free parking for events like this (free parking for Dallas Blooms, too), and can take up to 6 people in at a time. The evening shows are going to charge an additional premium (the the music shows are a bit more, too), but you're still getting a deal compared to non-members. You can join online!
