Boyce Thompson Arboretum: Glass in Flight

What if the insects we often overlook could stop you in your tracks with beauty?
Step into a world where dragonflies hover overhead, butterflies balance on petals, and bees shimmer in sunlight—each one larger-than-life and crafted in glass.

“Glass in Flight” is an immersive outdoor sculpture exhibit by renowned Tucson-based artist Alex Heveri. Featuring over 17 dazzling sculptures made of hand-cut, hand-faceted Dalle de Verre glass set in powder-coated steel, this exhibit captures the magic of nature’s tiniest pollinators—blown up to monumental scale.

Walk among monarchs, beetles, and hummingbirds that radiate color and light. Take a seat on a vibrant butterfly bench or pose under a towering monarch arch.
Learn how these small-but-mighty creatures play a vital role in our ecosystem. Crafted over four years by Heveri—a defense attorney turned sculptor—this exhibit brings together passion, precision, and purpose. Let it change how you see insects forever.

Don’t blink. This is a limited-time experience. Included with the price of Admission
