The Reveal and Illumination of a Magnificent Sculpture by Master of Glass Dale Chihuly

The Art Museum has been gifted a magnificent sculpture created by master of glass Dale Chihuly, Luminous Silver.  Please join us in celebrating the Reveal of this stunning chandelier that is a gift to the entire New Bedford community, marking the rebirth of the Art Museum.

March 24 - June 9
Join us for a four month series of dim lit alleys, ambivalent motivations, hapless hard drinking men and women who would just as soon kill you as love you.

APRIL 11th - JULY 14th

Produced in partnership with the New Bedford Museum of Glass, Rhode Island School of Design's Glass Department, and the Sandwich Glass Museum, Pathfinders: Paving the Glass Revolution in the U.S. chronicles the revolutionary impact Dale Chihuly and his peers had in reshaping the view of glass from the realm of craft into a valid artistic medium for sculpture.
