Project Art at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Project Art oversees the care of more than 5,800 objects, including more than 2,200 framed posters and 3,900 works of original art. These feature a variety of media, such as drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramic art, fiber art, photography, and mixed media. The artwork selected seeks to soothe, stimulate, and educate the hospital audience. DALE CHIHULY Many of the artworks commissioned through the Art in State Buildings program are created by Iowa artists, but not all. Dale Chihuly is world-renowned for his spectacular glass works, and his exhibits are always blockbusters: more than 1 million viewers visited the Tower of David Museum to see his "Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem" installations there! Mr. Chihuly was born in Tacoma, WA, and was first drawn to working with glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. Later he studied glass more intensively at the University of Wisconsin, home to the first glass program in the country. He would eventually go on to establish the glass program at the Rhode Island School of Design.
