Join us for a magical summer in the garden! Enjoy a safe, outdoor, engaging experience during Annmarie’s Enchanted Summer at the Garden! We’ve taken all the best parts of our popular Fairy & Gnome Home Festival and transformed it into an amped-up, low-touch/no-touch, multimedia, daily, outdoor experience of frolicking fairy fun. Grab your bug spray, pack a picnic blanket or chairs, and spend your summer with us!

Come explore this charming exhibit of more than 75 handmade houses scattered throughout the trails and woods of the garden. Made by wonderfully creative artists from the community (and beyond), this exhibit features works in all media.

We will start with an online show on our website and social media accounts, and then move to a physical gallery show once the public gathering restrictions have been lifted. Please note this means the artwork delivery dates and the gallery show dates may change as we progress through this crisis. If your work is accepted, we will keep you informed of any changes. Current details are listed below. Bloom & Grow is a lush, colorful, and wide-ranging celebration of floral and botanical art. From biblical depictions of the Garden of Eden, to the plein air art of the Impressionists, to the bold stylized motifs in pop culture, depictions of flowers are plentiful throughout art history and visual culture. Bloom & Grow will feature works that continue these traditions, as well as works that push beyond to explore the symbolic, the emotional, the environmental, and the personal connections we have with flowers, plants, and all things that grow outdoors.

We don't have to miss the beauty of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center this spring! We've created a peaceful video tour of the garden just for you! Enjoy the art as well as the first buds of spring leaves and blossoms now appearing.
