The Summer of Glass in Asheville, N.C., begins May 17 and runs through Oct. 7, featuring Chihuly at Biltmore, an exhibition in which monumental glass sculptures by artist Dale Chihuly will be found throughout areas of the Biltmore House, gardens and grounds. Complementing the exhibition, a community-wide celebration of glass will be found throughout the city and region with special local exhibitions, demonstrations, tours, workshops and events.
