Bouquets to Art Celebrates 35 Years at the de Young Museum
For one week in June, more than 100 Bay Area floral designers will converge on the de Young to showcase floral & natural form displays that are either inspired by or highlight aspects of the museum’s paintings, sculptures, objects, and architecture. This year’s Bouquets to Art runs June 4th – 9th. Passersby of IXIA on Market Street in the Castro have an inkling of how ingeniously beautiful and detailed these works can be.
Beyond the displays, highlights at Bouquets to Art will be the Wilsey Court installation by Natasha Lisitsa and Daniel Schultz (Waterlily Pond) and the lineup of speakers discussing floral design, giving demonstrations, and more.
