Millennium Chandeliers/Gallery 37

The artwork on display was created by gallery37 apprentice artists, under the guidance of Chihuly Studio, headquarters of renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. The chandeliers were part of a 450-piece installation displayed at the City of Chicago’s International Millennium Dinner. The 4’ x 4’ chandeliers are made of resin, painted and molded into unique designs inspired by Chihuly’s free-spirited style and create a fantastic sea of light and color.
