Join us this Thursday, October 8, at 6:30 PM for the Myrna and Sheldon Palley Glass Artist Lecture, Pioneering the Narrative: Fifty Years of Glass Artistry with Dan Dailey.
Second-generation Studio Glass artist Dan Dailey reflects on a fifty-year career shaped by narrative humor, formal invention, and wit. He will share insights from his storied journey—from serving as Dale Chihuly’s first graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), to earning a Fulbright fellowship with Venini in Murano, to founding MassArt’s glass program—while tracing how he has expanded the medium’s organic, process-driven traditions across studio glass and industrial design.
🎟️ This lecture is FREE and open to the public.
