De Young held 34th Annual Bouquets to Art Weeklong Event. On March 12th, the de Young hosted it's 34th Annual Bouquets to Art event. Each spring, more than 120 of the Bay Area’s most innovative and sought-after floral designers breathe new life into the de Young’s permanent collection during Bouquets to Art. Now in its 34th year, this highly anticipated weeklong event featured a dazzling display of floral arrangements inspired by the de Young’s diverse collection of paintings, objects, and sculptures, as well as the architecture of the building.
The event and fund-raiser took place from March 13 through March 18, 2018. All proceeds from Bouquets to Art benefitted the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. During the event, the galleries were adorned with elegant and elaborate arrangements, including a large hanging aerial piece by local favorite Ornamento taking over Wilsey Court, the heart of the de Young museum.
While the galleries were blooming, the de Young hosted a series of stylish luncheons, lectures, and pop-up discussions by renowned floral experts and tastemakers from around the world.
