Bouquets to Art is back in the galleries this year to celebrate the summer season in its 37th year with a new palette of fresh flowers. Inspired by works of art in the de Young museum’s galleries, the weeklong display of floral installations offers new ways of seeing the permanent collection. This year, for the first time, look for collection highlights in the arts of Africa and Oceania galleries upstairs, as well as plenty of perennial Bouquets to Art favorites, such as Frederic Edwin Church’s Rainy Season in the Tropics (1866). Stroll through the de Young and you’re sure to find inspiration in every corner.
While the galleries are blooming, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco hosts an Opening Preview evening, a luxury raffle, a lecture with a world-renowned ikebana artist, and the first ever virtual visit of Bouquets to Art.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The perennial, ever-popular Bouquets to Art at the DeYoung is back for a week’s exhibit of floral installations inspired by and created to enhance the way the museum’s art collection is experienced. Demand is high and advance tickets are sold out, but for the first time there’s a virtual tour available, making it possible for everyone to enjoy this year’s first-ever display highlighting the art in the museum’s Africa and Oceania galleries online.
