This year, the MV Garden Club celebrates the diverse art of thirty six Island artists and the talent of its Garden Club members with our annual Blooming Art event, June 16 – June 18, 2023 at

Blooming Art celebrates the diverse art of Island artists
and the talent of its Garden Club members. 
The Old Mill will be open to the public, Friday and Saturday,
June 16 and 17 from 10am - 5pm and Sunday, June 18
from 10am - 3pm for this ‘Blooming Art’ treat! 
The annual event is a celebration that pairs art
created by local artists with floral interpretations
done by the Martha's Vineyard Garden Club members.
The event was inspired years ago by the Museum of Fine Art,
Boston’s ‘Art in Bloom’ exhibition.  

Event admission is $10 per person, cash or check payable at the door. All the art on exhibit at Blooming Art is available for sale.
A portion of the proceeds from each sale will be donated
by the artist to the MV Garden Club's Charitable Initiatives
which include the Garden Club's Scholarship Fund
and the Old Mill Preservation Fund.

Artwork is 'Cherry Tree' created by Elizabeth Lockhart Taft for Blooming Art, 2022.
Floral design was done by Susan Rust, an MV Garden Club member.
