I'm so excited! It is time to hang the artwork, load up all the Ikebanas, carefully pack the Niijima floats, and find a really tall ladder to hang the chandeliers! Chihuly week is here! Only a few days until Night at the Museum - Chihuly and AES GATE opens to the public! Thursday, November 3rd (this Thursday!) from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m., feel free to come and go as you tour the artwork created by our students! Please enter through the AES Main Office area. Our AES Ambassadors will greet you and guide you to the media center...also, you can follow the "Chihuly this way!" signs! Each GATE class will have their own exhibit with their Ikebanas, Macchias, Niijima Floats, Seaforms and Mini-Chandeliers. The back wall will be filled with all the Chihuly-ish paintings by all GATE students! It will be beautiful! Third grade torn paper self-portraits will also be on display.
After touring the artwork, iPods will be available for guests to hear a podcast about Dale Chihuly created by GATE students. Brochures created in Pages by 3rd graders about Chihuly will also be on display. We will also have a MacBook area where several computers will be "tuned in" to Chihuly's website while others are visiting the Orbix Hot Glass website. Guests are welcome to check out two of our favorite websites. A slideshow of "behind the scenes" work will be playing throughout the night! It will be a GRAND EVENT! Don't miss it! See you there!
