The MV Garden Club's perennial fundraiser, Blooming Art was a wonderful success thanks to everyone who contributed.
The Garden Club's work on Blooming Art begins in January, with the Blooming Art 'Committee' meeting monthly to begin planning the event with more frequent meetings as the date draws near. Sub-Committees are created and together, we all make Blooming Art happen. 'Blooming' is the MV Garden Club's part...but 'Art' is the part of our talented and generous Island Artists, who so generously give their time, their support and a portion of the proceeds from the art sales, back to the Garden Club. We thank you all sincerely and appreciate you all so much! Here is a listing of the artists who participated in Blooming Art, 2024: Renee Balter, Harriet Bernstein, Donna M. Blackburn, L. A. Brown, Eva Cincotta, Marston Clough, Angela Egerton, Sheila M. Fane, David Gibby, Alena Grady, Lynn Hoeft, Chetta Kelley, Ruth Kirchmeier, Washington Ledesma, Kanta Lipsky, Marjorie Mason, Joyce Maxner, Sarah D.

A Little Background: 'Blooming Art' is modeled after the Boston Museum of Fine Arts 'Art in Bloom' show, which is an annual celebration of floral arrangements inspired by the Museum’s many masterpieces. Beginning in the early days of the MVGC Blooming Art event, the Old Mill was transformed into a gallery filled with the art of Vineyard artists displayed along with interpretive floral arrangements created by Garden Club members...and it all began in 2001!
Back 'in the day' Blooming Art was called 'Beauty and The Best', and the name of the event was changed several years later to more reflect the feeling of the AIB event at BMOFA. Blooming Art, 2024 was the twenty-third year of the 'Blooming Art' event!
