Note: Mark McDonnell, producer of the award-winning documentary Chihuly in the Hotshop, will speak at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center Friday, May 21, at noon, stepping in for Dale Chihuly who has undergone a medical procedure that prevents his travel to Nashville.

According to Chihuly publicist Janet Makela, “Dale had to undergo a minor medical procedure and while it was nothing serious, his doctors have determined it best for him not to travel at this time to avoid potential complications.”

The book signing originally planned to follow the lecture will not take place.

Interested in learning more about Chihuly’s spectacular glass installations around the globe? This is a great opportunity to hear it directly from the artist himself. In this special lecture, Dale Chihuly discusses his work and creative process, unique team approach, and the innovative partnership between Cheekwood, the Frist Center, and the Nashville Symphony that brought Chihuly’s work to our city.

Chihuly has produced a set of glass sculptures for the Nashville Symphony’s production of Bluebeard’s Castle, which will run from Thursday, May 20, through Saturday, May 22, 2010. Also, as part of a citywide collaboration with the artist, both the Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art and the Frist Center will be hosting exhibitions of Chihuly’s work from May 25 through Oct 31, 2010, and from May 9, 2010, through January 2, 2011, respectively. For more information on the lecture please contact the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office at (615) 687-6400.
