ART IN BLOOM

Museum of Fine Arts
Boston
Art in Bloom
Last weekend in April, annually

The event Art in Bloom returns annually to The Museum of Fine Arts to welcome spring to New England highlighting fine art by using floral designs.  The designs are placed on pedestals adjoining their respective artwork. 

The MFA Associates invite local garden clubs to participate in creating these interpretive designs.

Worcester Garden Club began participating in 1996, as best as we can tell.  The club keeps track of pairs of participants and rotates their club designers, so that all who would like to participate get an opportunity plus the mentoring process.  There are always two people from each club required by the Museum to keep up with the maintenance through the four-day event at the end of April.  Flora in Winter at the Worcester Art Museum was inspired by this MFA creative way of bringing visitors into see the art (created in 1976.)

Here are some photos of designs with their pair of WGC designers’ names and year:
