Art in Bloom! - MFA


It's no surprise that the Museum of Fine Arts continues to inspire Boston and beyond with new exhibitions each season. However, we wanted to remind you of the upcoming annual Art in Bloom festival at the MFA (April 24th to 26th). Each year, The MFA galleries are transformed by fifty extraordinary arrangements inspired by magnificent works of art, from Asian sculptures to world-renowned European paintings. Some of the weekends events include, floral experts lectures, high tea on Sunday, live entertainment and more!

HINT: One of my favorite Boston floral and event designers instillation's will be featured in the MFA this year! Look for Faxon Green's design throughout the galleries!

MOBA - Art too bad too be ignored


Many museum goers enjoy viewing art for inspiration. However, The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) can be inspiring as well, or just really fun to look at. The museum believes that this art is so bad, that it simply deserves recognition. Their popularity has grown and they have recently expanded to two galleries.
