Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Bouquets to Art is an annual floral exhibition that lets you engage with the de Young’s expansive collections in new ways. Featuring nearly 150 floral arrangements by prominent Bay Area designers and garden clubs, these stunning floral creations provide a unique and beautiful experience. Each arrangement is situated next to the painting or sculpture that it interprets. Exploring the floral artist’s vision of the artwork in the floral medium is unlike anything else you have ever seen. Each floral creation takes inspiration from one of the museum’s art works. From striking sculptural creations throughout the galleries to a majestic hanging installation in Wilsey Court, inspiration waits around every corner.
Now in 40th year, Bouquets to Art has attracted over 1,000,000 visitors and raised over $10 million in net proceeds, which have been used to fund an impressive roster of special exhibitions, art acquisitions, educational programs, and special projects at the Legion of Honor and the de Young Museum. Bouquets to Art is the largest fundraiser held to benefit the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and one of the country’s premier floral events. The General Admission price provides access to all floral and special exhibits. We will meet at the museum entrance, have a bite to eat at their café and then have the entire afternoon to enjoy the exhibits. More details will be sent to all those signed up the week before the event.
