Art and flowers once again share the spotlight at the Orlando Museum of Art as Art in Bloom returns, with the unique event featuring displays of floral arrangements throughout the galleries, each created in response to the artworks displayed beside them. Presented by the Council of 101, the event— which also includes other spring-inspired activities highlighting fashion, local makers, pop-up shops and silent auctions— is the organization’s annual fundraiser that supports exhibitions and educational programs at the museum. Running daily now through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, admission to the special event is included with the price of general admission to the museum.
