Art in Bloom

Art in Bloom is a juried exhibition featuring artists from the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association (KMAA) and celebrated local floral designers. The selected artworks serve as inspiration for a corresponding floral interpretation and collectively explore the symbiotic relationship between visual art and living ephemeral forms. The weekend of events includes lectures, workshops, and family programs celebrating the connections between art and nature.
