Art in Bloom brings together nature-inspired works of art, enhancing the Cummer Museum’s dynamic dialogue between interior galleries and our historic gardens. Coinciding with the height of our spring season, Art in Bloom celebrates how today’s artists are expanding the boundaries of floral art far beyond historic still-life paintings. Works from the Cummer’s permanent collection and exciting loans from contemporary artists create a dynamic exploration of this well-known style. Artists include Kim Cridler, Jane Hammond, Martin Johnson Heade, Jill Hotchkiss, Debora Moore, Severin Roesen, Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert, Sarah Ann Weber, Peter De Wiint, Ann Wood, and more.
