The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky’s primary annual fundraiser, Art in Bloom, showcases floral interpretations of the museum’s abundant artworks. Fifty floral designers use natural elements such as flowers, plants, and garden gnomes to reconstruct pieces from more than 4,500 paintings, photographs, and sculptures in the museum’s collections and special exhibitions. Throughout the three-hour reception, chefs prepare hors d’oeuvres and bartenders pour cocktails as visitors tour the foliage and vie for goodies in a silent auction. This year’s event honors Isabelle Yates for her longtime support of the museum, as well as the color chartreuse for innovatively straddling the line between yellow and green.

The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky

The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky showcases more than 4,500 masterpieces including American and European paintings, photographs, and sculpture. Oil and watercolors grace canvases by artists from around the world, including the American impressionist painting Bucks County Winter by Edward Willis Redfield and the Italian Baroque painting Madonna and Child with St. John by Agostino Carracci. The collection’s three-dimensional art forms also span the centuries, with examples of Native American ceremonial robes and a variety of outdoor sculptures that call upon contemporary amalgamations of steel, bronze, and stone. Traveling exhibitions, lecture series, and annual events aim to inspire as well as to create opportunities for patrons to gain new perspectives on how to best arrange a bowl of fruit.
