Art in Bloom is a biennial, one-weekend-only exhibition celebrating the combined beauty of art and floral design.

Weekend Schedule and Participating Florists

Visitors are invited to tour the galleries and enjoy extravagant floral sculptures inspired by works from the Museum’s permanent collection created by some of the region’s most talented floral designers. These floral sculptures emphasize, challenge, and build upon elements and concepts within the original work of art, creating an extraordinary dialogue between the two pieces.
