Blooming Art 2022...Photos and Thank You!
The MV Garden Club's biggest fundraiser of the year, Blooming Art was a resounding success thanks to everyone involved...the generous artists, our creative floral designers, our GC docents and volunteers, the local businesses who lent their support through discounts for the designers. And most especially to the MV Community for coming out to
support this annual event!
All funds raised during Blooming Art will benefit the Club's Charitable Initiatives, including the Garden Club's Scholarship Fund and the Old Mill Preservation Fund. We thank you sincerely for your attendance and support!

Some words from our President, Susan Hobart about Blooming Art, 2022...
I’m thrilled to report that Blooming Art this year was a success in all categories!
Thanks to Jayne, Trudy and our terrific designers, the floral designs were beautiful and superbly
reflected a wide range of impressive art. Sheila and Wiet invited some renowned island artists
to the show. The Old Mill looked magical. Gay and Laurie worked hard leading their band of
docents.
Donna’s marketing and social networking gave us great visibility and generated excitement.
Stephen’s poster this year was spectacular.
Many enthusiastic volunteers, including members new to the Club, made the show run
flawlessly and contributed to a sense of community, and many compliments from our guests.
Although Alysa’s numbers are still preliminary, Blooming Art this year took in over $12,000! Art
sale revenue was almost double last year’s, and we had almost 500 attendees. The Club also
gained 7 new members.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our major annual fundraiser successful!
