Flora & Fine Arts: Art Comes into Bloom
April 18 – 21, 2013
Artwork from Drawing Line into Form: Works on Paper by Sculptors from the Collection of BNY Mellon served as inspiration for floral arrangements created by local designers in this year’s Flora & Fine Arts from April 18 through 21. This special exhibition showcased nearly 25 floral designs created by floral artists.
In partnership with Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma Garden Club invited prominent Puget Sound floral designers and members of area garden clubs to create dazzling floral arrangements inspired by the colors, textures, and compositions of the artworks on view at the museum.
