Art in Bloom 2026

Champagne Reception

Art in Bloom 2026 will be free to attend. This year, FAM will showcase 40 works selected for floral interpretation by the Art in Bloom Committee from our current exhibitions.

Featured exhibitions include Kaleidoscope: 100 Years of Collecting for Our Community, Tara Sellios | Ask Now the Beasts, and FESTIVAL: A Celebration of African Art at the Fitchburg Art Museum.

Regional florists, garden clubs, and community designers — interpret works from the Museum’s collection, inviting hundreds of visitors into an immersive experience of art and community. Live music fills the galleries, floral demonstrations offer behind-the-scenes insight, and the much-anticipated Champagne Reception brings visitors together in a festive setting.
