As part of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston Art in Bloom celebration, renowned floral designer Christian Tortu will appear at the Harry and Mildred Remis Auditorium on Monday, April 27, from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm. He will present a floral demonstration and illustrated lecture. His arrangements combine his love of nature with an East Meets West aesthetic. MFA members $60, nonmembers $65. Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.mfa.org/programs/special-event/christian-tortu-east-meets-west.
For the 39th year, garden clubs and professional designers from across New England will create artistic floral arrangements at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), for Art in Bloom.
Arrangements will be inspired by artwork found throughout the Museum, including the re-imagined Greek galleries and newly installed Arts of the Pacific Gallery, as well as the new Hokusai exhibition.
Special events include an illustrated lecture and Japanese Ikebana floral demonstrations, as well as flower arranging master classes presented by Christian Tortu, France’s most renowned floral designer.
For a preview of the arrangements, a Bubbles and Blossoms event on Friday, April 24 (6 pm-9:30 pm, $30 members, $50 non-members), celebrates spring with a festive evening of bubbly and light bites.
Sunday, April 25, is Family Day, offering a variety of family-friendly events, including live entertainment and various art-making activities.
Daily tours, elegant tea and flower-designing demonstrations will be held throughout the weekend.
Tickets for all Art in Bloom events go on sale February 26 at 10 am on mfa.org. Follow the MFA on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for news and updates about Art in Bloom.
