Art in Bloom DC returns to Anderson House for a fifth time on March 20-23! This popular event fills our historic headquarters with more than thirty floral arrangements inspired by the art and architecture of Anderson House. Art in Bloom provides a unique opportunity in the nation’s capital to stroll through the museum at your own pace, viewing interpretations of specific artworks, furnishings and architectural details rendered in a floral medium by some of Washington’s most creative and innovative floral designs.

Visit during regular viewing hours to explore the floral arrangements, tour the museum, and participate in special demo sessions with featured floral designers. And join us and the premier local florists who created the displays for an evening reception exploring these floral artworks and the collections that inspired them, catered by Spilled Milk Catering.

Anderson House is the exclusive venue for Art in Bloom DC and is co-produced by the Institute, Margo Fischer of Bright Occasions, and Ashley Greer of Atelier Ashley Flowers.
