Virtual Art Alive 2021

In addition to the exciting in-person events at the Museum this year, Art Alive offers a full suite of virtual activations to our members and constituents. Some participants might prefer to enjoy all, or part, of the celebrations from the comfort of their own home.

Online Floral Interpretations:

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Art Alive from anywhere with special online Out of the Vault floral interpretations. See floral interpretations of works of art from the Museum collection not currently on view inside the Museum, but brought to life for you online through the visual language of flowers.

Thanks to the talented floral designers who created these beautiful interpretations and are extending the joy of Art Alive online.
