Preview Art Alive with large-scale floral installations popping up around San Diego County

As a preview of Art Alive each year, The San Diego Museum of Art brings a floral show to sites around San Diego with our signature Art Alive marketing campaign, Art Alive Petal Pop-Ups. For four consecutive weekends each year leading up to Art Alive, large-scale floral installations are created by our floral partners Native Poppy and Cali Wholesale Flowers at sites coordinated with four different community partner locations around San Diego County. Each location is a secret until launched live on the Museum’s social media channels. Follow the Museum on Instagram, Facebook, and X for updates.

Art Alive 2025 Pop-Ups will take place on the following dates:

  • March 21-23, 2025
  • March 28-30, 2025
  • April 4-6, 2025
  • April 11-13, 2025

Visiting the Art Alive Petal Pop-Ups is free to all and a great photo opportunity. We encourage you to visit as many Art Alive Petal Pop-Ups as possible and share your photos online tagging the Museum and using the hashtags #SDMAPetalPopUp and #ArtAlive for a chance to be featured.
