Art in Bloom - Review of several years
Art in Bloom is Back and We're Blooming with Excitement!
Get ready for a floral explosion at the North Carolina Museum of Art! Art in Bloom, presented by PNC, returns March 19–23, 2025, and we're thrilled to be participating once again. This incredible event showcases the talent and creativity of floral designers from across North Carolina and beyond as they reinterpret the Museum's "People's Collection" through stunning floral displays.
This year's theme, Art in the Park, will feature six large-scale installations inspired by artworks found throughout the Museum's beautiful 164-acre park.
A Look Back at Our Blooming History
We've been involved with Art in Bloom since its inception in 2015 (which, coincidentally, is also the last time we updated this blog...oops!). We're excited to be more active here and keep you in the loop with all things floral!
Over the years, we've had the opportunity to contribute to Art in Bloom in a variety of ways:
2015: We started our journey with a pedestal design interpreting a Rodin sculpture.
Platform Designs: We've been honored to be selected by the museum to create larger "platform" designs three times, pushing the boundaries of floral artistry.
2023: Lobby Decor - Our Crowning Glory! Our biggest honor yet was being asked to design the lobby décor in 2023. We wanted to create a showstopping display that wouldn't disrupt the flow of visitors. Our solution? A breathtaking tapestry of dried botanicals suspended from the ceiling, playing off the architectural coffers designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners. This unique design remains our favorite creation to date.
Award-Winning Designs
We're proud to have received recognition for our work at Art in Bloom over the years:
Director's Choice Award
Designer's Choice Award
People's Choice Platform Award (2024): Our 1950s living room design, complete with a floral shag carpet, evening cocktail, cigarette, cat-eye glasses, and more, was a real crowd-pleaser!
Art in Bloom 2025: Our Next Creation
This year, we're taking on another platform design, and we can't wait to share it with you! We'll be interpreting Ursula von Rydingsvard's powerful sculpture in the park, Ogromna.
Mark your calendars for March 19–23, 2025, and come experience the magic of Art in Bloom! We'd love to see you there and hear your thoughts on our latest creation.
