Chihuly set to return to Grand Rapids' Frederik Meijer Gardens for largest exhibit yet

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will host its largest-ever exhibition of Dale Chihuly's work from May 2 to November 1, 2026. The show, titled 'CHIHULY at Frederik Meijer Gardens,' features installations across 12 outdoor locations on the 158-acre campus, as well as indoor displays in the Sculpture Galleries, and includes special ticketed tours and evening viewing events.

The exhibition marks the third time Chihuly's work has been presented at the institution, emphasizing a significant, long-term relationship between the artist and the garden. It highlights the growing trend of integrating large-scale contemporary sculpture into botanical and public garden settings, driving tourism and offering new ways for audiences to engage with art in dialogue with nature and changing light.
