ART IN BLOOM 2010: Art and Flowers in Harmony
MARCH 25-28

Jan Breughel II (Flemish, 1601-1678): Still Life of Flowers, about 1600. Collection of Susan and John W. Sullivan, L2003.1

From March 25-28, 2010, the Norton Museum of Art presented a spectacular new event, Art in Bloom 2010: Art and Flowers in Harmony. This four-day celebration juxtaposed works of art from the renowned Norton Collection with floral arrangements created by award-winning members of area garden clubs and professional floral designers. Visitors were also invited to attend: lectures by; landscape architect Raymond Jungles, world renowned garden designers Renny Reynolds and Jack Staub; a special preview night cocktail reception; a luncheon featuring Town & Country editor-in-chief Pamela Fiori and an afternoon tea with event planner Michael Ereshena of the Special Event Resource and Design Group.

Not only was Art in Bloom a splendid exhibition, but proceeds from the event will benefit the Museum’s Art Collection. These funds will facilitate the acquisition of new artworks, the preservations and conservation of the collection, the organization and implementation of special exhibitions, and programs which interpret the collection and exhibitions for visitors of all ages.
