Art in Bloom

June 17–21

  • To coincide with the Fifth Annual Electric City Flower Show, the Everhart Museum is pleased to present the return of Art in Bloom, a curated experience that brings together fine art and floral design. 

    From June 17 through 21, 2026, selected works from the Museum’s collection will be reimagined through original floral interpretations created by regional artists and designers. Each participant will be paired with a work of art and invited to create an arrangement inspired by its color, form, texture, and narrative. 

    Installed throughout the galleries, these floral works will be displayed alongside the original artworks, creating a dynamic conversation between art and nature. 

    Visitors are invited to explore the exhibition and participate in the daily voting for their favorite arrangement, with a final recognition announced online to conclude the weekend.

    It's part of Everhart in Bloom Week, which offers a host of events at the Everhart June 17–21.
