The Wiregrass Museum of Art (WMA) is presenting Art in Bloom, a new program celebrating creativity during the museum’s 35th anniversary through innovative arrangements of floral and objects design.
These arrangements will be made by area creatives are inspired by and will accompany works of art on view from the museum’s Permanent Collection from Feb. 2-4. Additional programs that week include a floristry workshop with Holly Carlisle, and floral design-inspired art activities at WMA’s free First Saturday Family Day program.
People are also reading… Art in Bloom will open with an evening reception on Thursday, Feb. 2, from 5:30 p.m. – 8 p.m., and will be open to the public through Saturday, Feb. 4, during normal operating hours. Tickets to the event are $25, and include light hors d’oeuvres, a first look at floral arrangements, and an opportunity to meet the participating individuals or groups who designed each floral or object display. Proceeds from the event will support WMA’s annual arts programming.
This unique approach to floristry is characterized by the juxtaposition of traditional Japanese and British flower arranging philosophies and techniques. In the workshop, Carlisle will guide participants through a process using seasonal materials, both foraged and grown by Alabama flower farmers. The workshop is from 12:30 p.m.—3:30 p.m. Registration is $50 for members, and $60 for non-members, and is available by phone at 334-794-3871 or online at wiregrassmuseum.org.
First Saturday Family Day invites children, families, and visitors of all ages to WMA as a safe, welcoming place to gather and have meaningful art experiences together.
