Round Rock meet Chihuly ❤️
The 9-foot tall sculpture, titled "Ruby Sunstone Pineapple," is composed of more than 200 individually hand-blown glass elements, weighs approximately 460 pounds and is now a permanent centerpiece of our City Arts Center in Downtown Round Rock.
The completed installation will open to the public on July 15 along with a special exhibit that will also feature seven additional original works from Chihuly Studio on loan for three months, alongside an exhibit by Round Rock-based artist Ziesook You.
Chihuly is an American artist known for his exhibitions and large-scale architectural installations around the world and for revolutionizing the studio glass movement. His work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide and has transformed museums, botanical gardens and public spaces across the globe. While Chihuly works are displayed in museums and public buildings in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, this is the first permanent Chihuly installation available for public viewing in the Austin area.
The installation was commissioned specifically for the City Arts Center and is funded through hotel occupancy tax revenue, which is paid for by visitors to Round Rock hotels. The installation is intended to establish the City Arts Center as a regional arts destination and encourage visitors to Downtown Round Rock.
