The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is pleased to share news of another event that’s sure to be of interest to those who appreciate fine flowers. The Women’s Committee of Carnegie Museum of Art will present Art in Bloom, a celebration of art and flowers, from April 16 - 18, 2009. Floral designers from area garden clubs will create floral arrangements inspired by paintings, sculpture, furniture, and decorative arts from Carnegie Museum of Art’s permanent collection.
The arrangements will be presented throughout the museum galleries during the three-day fundraising event. Noteworthy local florists will also decorate the public spaces on the ground level of the museum. Highlights of Art in Bloom will include a preview gala, a cocktail party, a lecture and luncheon, and activities for children.
Admission to Art in Bloom is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, $11 for students with ID and children 3-18, and free for children under 3. Tickets include admission to the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History. The Carnegie Museum of Art will be open on Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18 from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Ticket prices vary for the lecture, cocktail receptions, and other programs.
