Art in Bloom Update
Get Your Tickets Now!
We began 2021 knowing that we would need to remain flexible and open to changing our plans and expectations. Just prior to our Art In Bloom show and sale in April, we found ourselves at just such a juncture.
We are happy to announce that we have new dates for Art In Bloom, which is now scheduled to be held Saturday, June 5th, and Sunday, June 6th. We were unable to hold everyone's original registration for the original event. So if you would like to attend the show on one of its new dates, please register here for a time to enter the show. The show is free to attend, but due to COVID, we must limit the number of people in the building. Tickets are going fast, so sign up today!
