The Museum of Fine Arts Boston has an ingenious fundraiser. They sell sponsorships where florists paired with a fundraiser create a floral arrangement in the likeness of a work of art in the museum. These floral arrangements are scattered throughout the museum, creating a kind of scavenger hunt.
Art in Bloom happens twice a year. I just happened to be at the Museum of Fine Arts having just left the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum down the street with my friends from Hawaii. It was a wonderful surprise to see the MFA in bloom! It was also a packed event, with numerous garden clubs throughout the state of Massachusetts scrutinizing each arrangement.
