Art in Bloom returns to the Grand Rapids Art Museum Friday, March 28 — Sunday, March 30.
This enchanting, biennial exhibition invites talented local floral designers to craft stunning, one-of-a-kind arrangements inspired by works from the museum’s permanent collection. These floral designs emphasize, challenge, and build upon elements and concepts within the original artworks, creating an extraordinary dialogue between art and nature.
Visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite floral designs, with awards being granted for Public Vote Winner and Public Vote Runner-up, as well as awards for Juried Vote Winner and Juried Vote Runner-up.
