Art in Bloom Presented by First Horizon Bank: Marsh Madness
Thu, March 19th at 10:00 AM - Sun, March 22nd at 5:00 PM
One of the most anticipated springtime events in New Orleans, Art in Bloom Presented by First Horizon Bank showcases spectacular floral designs created by garden clubs, floral designers, and creative talents from New Orleans and beyond. Take in fabulous floral installations throughout the museum, learn directly from today’s top design talents, and celebrate spring during the luncheon and fashion show.
This year’s event, themed “Marsh Madness,” will take inspiration from the natural beauty of our region’s swamps and wetlands.
Your support through Art in Bloom provides critical resources for both NOMA’s educational initiatives and exhibitions and the Garden Study Club of New Orleans’s community grants program.
