WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR PROPER BEHAVIOR FOR MY GROUP DURING GALLERY ACTIVITIES?

To ensure that all exhibition visitors enjoy their visit, we ask that you adhere to the following:

WHERE CAN I EAT AT THE EXHIBITION?

The Collections Café is open to the general public and is located at Chihuly Garden and Glass. Online reservations are recommended.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO TOUR THE EXHIBITION?

The amount of time you spend in the galleries depends upon you, as the visit is self-paced, however the average amount of time most visitors spend viewing the artwork in the Exhibition Hall, Garden and Glasshouse is 1-2 hours.

IF I PURCHASE THE PACKAGE ADMISSION, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO VISIT BOTH LOCATIONS?

Chihuly Garden and Glass is located at the base of the Space Needle on the grounds of the Seattle Center, so it is only a short walk to get from one site to the other. Expect to spend between 2-3 hours to visit both sites at a comfortable pace. If you plan on eating at the Collections Café or shopping at The Bookstore, additional time may be needed.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A SCHOOL OR GROUP TOUR?

Chihuly Garden and Glass offers both guided and self-guided tours for adults and college age students, as well as programs tailored for youth and school group visits. Learn more about group tours, contact: [email protected].

I'M A MEMBER OF THE MEDIA – CAN I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT DALE CHIHULY AND THE EXHIBITION?

Press inquiries should be directed to PR manager, [email protected].

I WORK WITH THIS GREAT ARTS ORGANIZATION. YOU SHOULD PARTNER WITH THEM.

We’re constantly looking at new partnership opportunities. Send us a note at [email protected] and we’ll take a look.

HOW LONG WILL THE EXHIBITION RUN?

This is a long-term exhibition, defined in years, not months. With lease renewals Chihuly Garden and Glass can run for 30 years.

WILL THE ART ROTATE?

While we don’t have immediate plans for this now, it is possible.

WAS ALL OF THE ART CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR THIS EXHIBITION?

The exhibition includes a mix of new and previously exhibited artworks. Chihuly had the opportunity not only to choose where to install the artworks but also design the galleries, so the context for this exhibition is unique. As his installations interact with light and space in a way unlike paintings or sculpture, visitors who may have seen some of these pieces before will have a new experience.

WILL THERE BE EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES AT THE EXHIBITION?

We do plan to offer programming relating to local artists and arts organizations. Details for activities at the exhibition will be available on our website.

WHERE ELSE CAN I SEE CHIHULY’S WORK?
