During Art in Bloom, the Cincinnati Art Museum’s permanent collection of fine art will be surrounded by over 90 floral arrangements created by local florists.
The arrangements — works of art in their own right — will be crafted to “emphasize, challenge and build upon elements and concepts” within works of art across the CAM’s galleries, “creating a dialogue between fine art and beauty,” according to a release.
Held every other year, the 2019 Art in Bloom is the museum’s 10th floral celebration. This year’s theme is “Light” and features “In the Park,” a 1927 oil painting by Frank Harmon Myers, as its centerpiece. The bright, impressionist work depicts a cheery view of the museum from Eden Park.
11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily Oct. 17-20. Free. Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
