Modern Masters
An outdoor programme of contemporary art curated by New Public is launching on the 13th May entitled “Modern Masters”, (through till October 2024) featuring Dale Chihuly, an American glass artist and entrepreneur. He is well known in the field of blown glass and Londoners will be most familiar with his Rotunda Chandlier which hangs in the Victoria & Albert Museum. “Chihuly at Chelsea Barracks” will showcase his iconic sculptures throughout the Barracks’ public grounds.
Fingers crossed for some sunshine and it should prove to be a lovely day out.
