Milwaukee, Wis. – Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art serves up inspiration for “Art in Bloom,” the annual tribute to art and flowers at the Milwaukee Art Museum, March 27–30, 2014.
Presented by PNC, “Art in Bloom” brings together over 40 gardening, floral arranging, and landscape designers from across the region, inspired by the art beneath the wings of the Museum and throughout the Galleries. The event also includes lectures, seminars, and activities for both experienced and novice gardeners.
“’Art in Bloom’ is a festive community event that not only immerses you in beauty, but also provides you with an opportunity to enhance your floral and gardening know-how,” said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. “This is one of the most beautiful, family-friendly events at the Museum. I encourage everyone to take in the sights and smells of ‘Art in Bloom’ this year.”
In addition to daily lectures and programs around gardening and horticulture, the event includes a marketplace for shopping, a wine tent, and children’s activities in the Kohl’s Education Center.
