Art in Bloom
July 30, 2026  |  6–8 PM

Step into a summer night filled with color, creativity, and charm at the Dayton Art Institute’s Art in Bloom! Back for a second year, this enchanting evening is held in the museum’s Gothic Cloister, transformed into a lively garden party complete with sparkling drinks, light bites by Bernstein’s Fine Catering and beautiful floral design.

Stroll among dozens of floral arrangements created by some of the region’s top floral designers, each one inspired by masterpieces from the DAI’s permanent collection. Then, take a self-guided tour through the galleries to view the original artworks that sparked these living interpretations. Guests will be able to donate-to-vote for their Favorite Floral Design.

Gather your friends, dress for the occasion and prepare for an unforgettable evening where art blossoms in every corner! 

We are excited to welcome the following Florists who will be showing their creations at this Art in Bloom 2026!
