Dear Lin, SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: THE GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION IS HAPPENING TOMORROW REGARDLESS OF RAIN. There will still be a partial WaterFire. Stay out of the rain and enjoy all of the activities and performances that we have planned. Rhode Island School of Design presents the Grand Opening Celebration for the Chace Center and its inaugural exhibition, the site-specific installation Chihuly at RISD. The Chace Center, designed by internationally recognized architect José Rafael Moneo, confirms RISD's commitments-to its students, to contemporary design, and to its role as a nationally prominent cultural institution. There may be no better artist to open this high-profile building than RISD alumnus Dale Chihuly MFA'68, who has established himself as one of the world's premier glass artists.
