Event Description
Glass in Flight Closing/Labor Day Weekend
August 30, 31 &, September 1, 2025
9:30am – 4:30pm
It’s your last weekend to catch a glimpse of GLASS IN FLIGHT which will be leaving Flamingo Gardens after September 1st! This traveling exhibition includes 21 hand-fashioned, welded steel sculptures including butterflies, bees, dragonflies, beetles, and a bird! Designed specifically for outdoor display, the works are crafted from hand-cut and hand-faceted Dalle de Verre glass set into powder-coated steel frames. The Dalle de Verre glass is thick and durable and glows in sunlight with a beautiful intensity. Each was painstakingly conceived, designed, cut, assembled, and welded together by the artist ALEX HEVERI herself. Light filtering through the glass amplifies the saturated colors and iridescence of the insect wings, intensifying the illusion of movement and flight.
