In 2025, The d’Art Center launched its first Glass Circuit Event in alignment with Chrysler Museum’s Perry Glass Studio Grand Reopening Weekend. The Glass Circuit Tour featured glass exhibits, glass demos, art activities, and free transportation that connected three venues – The d’Art Center, Chrysler’s Perry Glass Studio, and The Glass Light Hotel.
Over 700 people participated in the Inaugural 2025 Glass Circuit Tour and The d’Art Center is excited to bring back this event and celebrate The NEON District and Downtown Norfolk as a known destination for glass art!
Discover the artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship that defines our city’s glass community as we connect three incredible venues:
- The newly expanded Perry Glass Studio at Chrysler Museum
- The d’Art Center
- The Glass Light Hotel
This self guided event is free with transportation provided… and tour participants can win BIG prizes!
