World-renowned glass artist brings work to Biltmore Estate

Biltmore Estate will feature the works of glass artist Dale Chihuly in a new exhibit.

WYFF reports the new exhibit of the world-renowned artist's creations features pedestal works, drawings and large-scale installations.

March 25 through Jan. 5, Amherst at Deerpark, the estate's largest ballroom, will be filled with these iconic pieces. According to Biltmore, Chihuly's work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide.

"Chihuly has been working for over five decades, so imagine the amount of work and experimentation you have in that time frame," said Kaley Ellis, project manager of exhibitions. "It starts with the earlier series work such as the baskets and the cylinders and then you see the evolution into the large scale installations such as the large towers and chandeliers that will be featured here."

Tickets start at $125 and include two-day access to Biltmore Estate, the gardens and complimentary wine tastings at the winery.

Biltmore previously hosted a Chihuly exhibition in 2018, when the art installations were displayed throughout the estate’s historic gardens, the front lawn of Biltmore House and Antler Hill Village.
