The Marion Art Center is pleased to announce Art in Bloom, June 23-25, with a reception scheduled Thursday, June 23 from 5-7pm. The MAC will host several events over the three day period. Anyone is invited to create an arrangement for Art in Bloom, and designers may work in pairs or teams. Designers may visit the MAC from now through Wednesday, June 22 and view the current show, Profusion of Color: Abstracts. Choose one of the works on display to inspire your artistic floral creation. There will be only one designer or design team per artwork. Designers may use any available MAC pedestals for displaying arrangements but are encouraged to bring their own unique stand of appropriate size and height. All arrangements should be delivered to the Marion Art Center no later than Thursday, June 23 at 12:00pm.

The three day festival, sponsored by a generous grant from the Mass Cultural Council, will include multiple workshops and events such as:

Cooking from the Garden with Edible Flowers and Herbs, hosted by MAC board president Jennifer Wolfe Webb (6/24 from 11am-12:30pm, $15 per person)
