Art in Bloom 2014 was a fabulous success thanks to the
sponsors, the designers, the volunteers, the staff, and the hundreds of patrons
who supported the Museum’s annual fund-raiser. This was the 14th
year for this event which is held every year on the last weekend in
February. Planning for this weekend
begins in July when chairs and committee members volunteer to find sponsors and
auction items. Trudy Tibbs, the 2014 event chair, started planning the event
last July with Kasia Pater serving as Sponsorship Chair and Peggy Collins
serving as Auction Chair. Under their
leadership the event saw new growth and reached out to many new members in the
community.
Ed and Joan Schaeffer were chosen to be Honorary Chairs and
presided over both events with elegance and grace. Photographer Elizabeth
Shatner was selected as the Signature Artist and not only donated her art and
time but attracted an unprecedented amount of media coverage with her celebrity
status. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, 50 floral designers spent
hours planning and creating a spectacular wonderland of fragrance and color for
three days of art and flowers. Thank you
for supporting the event and we look forward to next year!
