Art Alive 2015 SDMA
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN SELECTED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
Art Alive blooms again at the San Diego Museum of Art from April 29 to May 1,2016. Enter the giveaway and you could win a pair of passes to experience these incredible floral displays!
“For the 35th annual Art Alive, more than 100 floral designers will transform famous works of art from The San Diego Museum of Art’s permanent collection into exquisite floral displays. ”
Last year, my dear friend Patty, a docent at the Timken Museum, volunteered her time and tremendous artistic talents to help build the gorgeous display at the museum’s Central Rotunda.
“This year, Jim Lennox and Ben Lucero of Pacific Event Productions in San Diego will transform the Museum’s central Rotunda into a lush and beautiful floral design and art experience reflective of the Brush and Ink: Chinese Paintings from The San Diego Museum of Art Selected by Pan Gongkai spring exhibition and the Museum’s incredible Asian art collection. An exquisite floral designer with more than 20 years of experience, Lucero will add a new twist to an old Asian tradition with a Rotunda design encompassing the creativity, emotion and powerful energy embodied by the element of fire.”
