Art in Bloom

The annual Art in Bloom event, a fundraiser for both the Four Seasons Garden Club and the Memphremagog Arts Center, will take place on July 31st and August 1st at the MAC gallery at 158 Main Street in Newport, VT. The event kicks off on Friday, July 31st from 5-7 pm with a reception including wine, appetizers, and musical entertainment by musician Chris Nicotera at the gallery for a cost of $10, available from MAC and the Four Seasons Garden Club. The arrangements will be available for visiting on Saturday, August 1 at no charge. Guests can also visit the ongoing “Shakespeare and Friends” exhibit by Ann Young.

“Art in Bloom is a creative opportunity for anyone loving flowers to complement a favorite painting, or other art object, with color, imagination, and rhythm, “ said Marvelene Richards. “As a member of the Four Seasons Garden Club and a participant, I find it challenging, but fun. It’s always interesting to see the ideas others have used. Interpretation and unique creativity provide a splendid array of visual delights, and amazing fragrances, too.”

The public is invited to enter their own arrangements – just drop by the MAC to choose an inspiration and sign up, advanced registration is required.
