Floral designs reflect fine art
First up: Apologies. What I'm about to show you is a one-weekend-only experience that is now over and done with for 2016. So although this entire post is one big tease, it's my goal to raise awareness for cool stuff happening in Milwaukee. At the very least, you can keep this particular arty coolness in the back your mind for next year.
I'm talking about the Milwaukee Art Museum's annual Art in Bloom. It's a weekend where local florists create floral works of art inspired by certain pieces throughout the museum. It's enchanting to see how different floral designers draw inspiration from these great works. Some take a more literal approach — like the piece below, artfully mimicking a painted landscape. The one above, inspired by sculpture, captures the motion of a fuzzy dandelion blowing in the wind.
The event is kind of a big deal — admission is $17 for non-members and it can be rather crowded. But if you're a lover of art and flowers, I sure wouldn't miss it. Keep Art in Bloom on your radar for next year!
