Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

On Nov. 22, the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix opened "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass." The outdoor installation contains 17 large Chihuly works such as "Sun and Moon" and "Chandeliers," which will be displayed amid the cacti, succulent gardens and wildflower trail.

Chihuly's work is in major museums around the world, but many travelers know him best for the enormous flowering chandelier that hangs above the lobby of the Bellagio resort in Las Vegas.

The exhibition runs through May 31. Timed tickets will be sold through www.dbg.org or at 480-481-8188.

Tickets are $15, $13.50 for seniors, $7.50 for students and $5 for children ages 3-12.

The garden is at 1201 N. Galvin Parkway in Phoenix.
