Flowers after Hours

Special Event
Have a bloomin' good time at Art in Bloom's newest event. Flowers After Hours is a lively, complimentary party with an English pub flair on Thursday evening from 5 until 8 p.m. Sign up for a pub-style art quiz (complete with great prizes), meet our floral artists and find out what inspires them, and enjoy a variety of music, pub-inspired savories, sweets, and beverages for purchase. Head to the museum after work with friends for a different kind of happy hour. It's a chance to see the Art in Bloom arrangements at their peak, and enjoy a great party!
