Art Alive returns April 22–25, 2027

Living Landscape

Celebrate the return of Art Alive and the stunning array of colorful floral arrangements interpreting works of art throughout the Museum that are the cornerstone for four days of art-inspired events, including the elegant Premiere Dinner and the iconic Bloom Bash. Art Alive is The San Diego Museum of Art’s signature annual fundraiser, providing vital year-round support for the Museum’s exhibitions, education, outreach, and public programs. Join us as flowers and art once again transform the Museum into an extraordinary immersive experience.

This year’s theme, Living Landscape, draws inspiration from the exhibition Landscape: Nature and Evolution, the Museum’s major reinstallation exploring the enduring relationship between art and the natural world. Throughout Art Alive weekend, the Museum will be infused with the beauty, energy, and imagination of the natural world, inviting guests to experience art, flowers, and celebration through the evocative lens of landscape.

Tickets on sale January 19, 2027, for members and January 26, 2027, for nonmembers.
