  • Friday – Sunday, June 19 – 21 – Blooming Art 2026 at the Old Mill

    A Celebration of Art & Flowers!   The Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club’s iconic ‘Blooming Art’ event will take place this year at The Old Mill in West Tisbury (690 Edgartown-West Tisbury Road) on  June 19, 20, and 21.  All art on display will be for sale.  All funds raised during this event will benefit the Club’s Charitable initiatives.  The MVGC looks forward to your attendance and your support!   

    The Club’s ‘Blooming Art’ event showcases creations of island artists paired with interpretive floral arrangements by our MV Garden Club members under the roof of the charming and historic Old Mill located in West Tisbury which is owned and maintained by the MV Garden Club. The Club, which is the Island’s oldest conservation organization, takes great pride in hosting this event for the enjoyment of our Island Community and visitors who attend.   

    A Little Background:  ‘Blooming Art’ is modeled after the Boston Museum of Fine Arts  ‘Art in Bloom’ show, which is an annual celebration of floral arrangements inspired by the Museum’s many masterpieces.  Beginning in the early days of the MVGC Blooming Art event, The Old Mill was transformed into a gallery filled with the art of Vineyard artists displayed along with interpretive floral arrangements created by Garden Club members.  All artwork is for sale and the proceeds from the ‘Blooming Art’ event, will go towards supporting the Club’s charitable initiatives, including the Garden Club’s Scholarship Fund and the Old Mill Preservation Fund.

    2024 is an especially special year for the Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club.  It is celebrating the Club’s Centennial and hopes you will join the members at one of its upcoming events!  “We have both historic and celebratory happenings coming up, with several nods to recounting the Club’s stunning history.  Several fundraisers and some members-only events will be sprinkled in, and it all promises to be a lovely tribute to all the founding members and  Garden Club members who followed have contributed to the Island over the past 100 years.  The Club’s perennial fundraiser, Blooming Art. is slated for June 14, 15 and 16, so we hope you will join us to celebrate the diverse art of Island artists and the talent of its Garden Club members with this annual art and floral event. This year the work of over 35 Vineyard artists will be exhibited with all art available for purchase.  The art sold at Blooming Art will benefit the Club.  A portion of the proceeds is donated by the artist to the Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club’s charitable projects.”

  • Friday, June 18 – Sunday, June 20 – Blooming Art 2021

    Blooming Art is Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club’s exciting show that pairs the artwork of Vineyard artists with floral designs inspired by those works, created by Garden Club members.  Happy news is that Blooming Art is returning to the Old Mill this year… A little different from past years, but happening nonetheless.  In past years, we began the Blooming Art event with an ‘Opening Night Cocktail Celebration’, but due to the uncertainty of Covid, we have chosen to not have the opening night event be a part of Blooming Art this year.  Instead, this lovely celebration of art and flowers will begin on Friday, and will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm and on Sunday from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm.  No pre-registration is necessary, an admission fee of $10.00 will be taken at the door. This event will be Covid compliant, based on the State and town regulations in place at the time of the Show.  

    This year we have 34 artists presenting their work and have paired the art with 34 of our Garden Club members that will be doing the floral designs for the show.  All of the art work will be for sale with the Club receiving a percentage of the sales. We are planning an in-person demonstration for floral designers in May, so for exact dates and times that are available, please email Anda Woodward at andawoodward@gmail.com.
