Tickets are on sale now for the biennial return of Fine Arts and Flowers, a VFMA exhibit pairing original interpretive floral arrangements with works from the museum’s permanent collection. The event will begin on Oct. 23.
This year’s installation will feature 70+ floral arrangements as well as floral designer presentations, luncheons, guided tours, workshops, curator talks, fashion shows, and family activities.
The exhibit is free, but the special events require the purchase of a ticket.
The VMFA has already announced this year’s three headlining speakers — Ingrid Carozzi, Robbie Honey and Canaan Marshall. Carozzi is an expert in sustainable floral design, Honey is international horticulturist with a specialty in native plants, and Marshall’s arrangements have earned him the nickname “The Flower Whisperer.”
Over 10,000 people are expected to attend this year’s exhibition. Tickets went on sale this morning. All proceeds will benefit the ongoing research, development, and installation of VMFA exhibitions.
