Art in the desert???














A few weeks ago, my father gave us free passes to go see an art exhibit temporarily being held at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. There were about 20 different sculptures done by a guy by the name of Dale Chihuly. He makes these amazing and crazy looking free-form glass blown sculptures. For those of you who have been to the Bellagio Casino in Vegas, he was the creator of the glass sculptures on the ceiling inside the main entrace. His sculptures were located all around the garden. We went in the early evening, so we got there just as the sun was setting. It was beautiful to see all these sculptures both in the light and then all lit up against the dark. Even Cole seemed interested in his first art/cultural experience.
