Art in Bloom

March 1, 2019–March 3, 2019

This event occurred in the past. The archival exhibition summary below describes the festival as it was conceived while on view.

Art in Bloom, the Museum’s annual celebration of flowers and fine art, returns March 1–3, 2019. Dozens of works from the Museum’s collection will be imaginatively interpreted through floral design by the region’s most talented florists. In addition to the floral displays, the free festival includes floral presentations and lectures, family activities, dining, and shopping.
