Slide Show
In addition to the amazing floral displays, Art in Bloom includes in-store trunk shows, floral demonstrations, workshops, and more.
The four-day festival is the Museum’s biggest annual fundraiser.
Art in Bloom takes over the entire West Building and is fun for all ages.
Each year the Museum director designates a Director’s Choice display, and the public votes on People’s Choice.
Most designers are randomly assigned a work from the Museum’s collection to use as inspiration.
More than 50 floral designers participate in Art in Bloom each year. Designers include professional shop owners, garden clubs, and hobbyists.
Designers push their creative boundaries to design show-stopping works of art.
Featured florists give demonstrations on their areas of expertise.
