The Cincinnati Art Museum’s Art in Bloom, a bi-annual celebration of floral artistry, takes place April 26–28. This weekend fundraiser features floral arrangements by some 60 artists, each inspired by a different work of art in the museum’s collections.
Driving the themes and programming of 2024’s Art in Bloom is the work of Natasja Sadi, an Amsterdam-based floral artist who creates arrangements from natural materials and photo-realistic sugar flowers, all inspired by Dutch-masters paintings.
The weekend promises to be filled with delightful educational programs and activities designed to engage a variety of audiences, ages, and interests. Check out cincinnatiartmuseum.org/artinbloom for more information and individual event tickets.
