The AFGC Convention is hosting the “Art in Bloom” floral exhibition that pairs creative floral designs created by garden club members with a piece of artwork. The floral design should express the colors, style and subject matter of the artwork.

In preparation for the show, garden club members are assigned a painting or sculpture weeks in advance, inspiring them to craft unique floral arrangements that echo the essence of the artwork. These arrangements will be displayed alongside their artistic counterparts, offering a captivating visual dialogue between nature and art.

The “Art in Bloom” exhibition is free and open to the public from April 27 to April 30, 2025, at the Wyndham Phoenix Airport/Tempe, 1600 S 52nd St, Tempe, AZ 85281.
