Art AliveArt Alive 2008: April 11 through 13, 2008 Now in its 27th year, Art Alive is San Diego’s finest floral extravaganza and a favorite springtime tradition. This stunning display of art and flowers features the work of award-winning professional and amateur floral designers, who fill the galleries with live floral arrangements inspired by works in SDMA’s collection.

As the Museum’s only annual fundraising event, Art Alive provides critical financial support for important education outreach and exhibition development.
