Art Blooms After Hours Reception - Friday, August 7, 5-8pm
Art Blooms is a three-day exhibit featuring the work of more than 25 floral designers from across the region. Each floral designer is assigned a work of art in the Main Gallery or the Kay Daugherty Gallery and asked to create an arrangement inspired by that work of art. The results are surprising, beautiful, and provocative - and not to be missed. 2026 will mark the 17th year for Art Blooms, an exhibit co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Annmarie Garden.
