Fashion Blooms in Milwaukee March 26\u201329<\/strong>
\nBeauty in Bloom puts new spin on popular tradition<\/em><\/p>\n

Milwaukee, Wis.<\/strong> \u2013 Sponsored by PNC Bank, \u201cBeauty in Bloom\u201d brings together over forty gardening, floral arranging, and landscape designers from across the region, inspired by the designer gowns on view in the feature exhibition, Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair<\/em><\/a>. The event runs March 26\u201329, 2015 and also includes lectures, seminars, and activities for both experienced and novice gardeners.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeauty in Bloom<\/a> is a new spin on our traditional \u2018Art in Bloom\u2019 event that not only immerses you in flowers, but also provides you with an opportunity to enhance your floral and gardening know-how,\u201d said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. \u201cThis is one of the most colorful, family-friendly events at the Museum. I encourage everyone to take in the sights and smells of Beauty in Bloom this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to daily lectures and programs around gardening and horticulture, the event includes a marketplace for shopping, refreshments and a wine garden, and children\u2019s activities in the Kohl\u2019s Art Generation Open Studio. New this year will be a Stallion Station for men to relax, a Nail Boutique and Beauty Bar for pampering, and an exclusive fashion show with New York designer Katherine Feiner, showcasing 2015 spring designs and one-night-only floral ensembles and accessories.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the current construction in the Museum\u2019s galleries<\/a>, the entire event will be held inside the Quadracci Pavilion,\u201d said Keegan. \u201cThere will be exquisite floral designs throughout Windhover Hall, the Museum Garage, our Gallerias, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

A complete schedule of lectures, events, and ticket information can be found at mam.org\/bloom<\/a>. Daily Museum admission is $15 adult\/$5 Member, Thursday through Sunday.

ABOUT MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM<\/strong>
\nProminently situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Art Museum campus welcomes over 400,000 visitors annually. The Museum was founded over 125 years ago and is the largest and most significant art museum in Wisconsin. It houses a rich collection of over 30,000 works, with strengths in 19th- and 20th-century American and European art, contemporary art, and American decorative arts. It is the world\u2019s leading repository for work by untrained creators and has one of the largest collections of works by Georgia O\u2019Keeffe. The Museum\u2019s celebrated Santiago Calatrava\u2013designed Quadracci Pavilion, completed in 2001, showcases both Museum-produced and traveling feature exhibitions.<\/p>\n

RESTORE. REINSTALL. REIMAGINE.<\/strong>
\nBeginning in fall 2014, the Museum began an ambitious project to renovate its two oldest buildings, the Eero Saarinen\u2013designed War Memorial Center (1957) and the David Kahler\u2013designed addition (1975), which house the Museum\u2019s Collection Galleries. Increased gallery space, including an entire floor dedicated to photography and new media, an improved gallery layout, and a new lakeside entrance are among the improvements planned. The collections will be off view through fall 2015; however, the Museum is open throughout construction, with a vibrant schedule of exciting exhibitions, educational offerings, and special programs in the Quadracci Pavilion.
