Art Blooms is a three-day exhibit featuring the work of 40 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 it. 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.
