Art in Bloom
Art in Bloom
Museum hours
Spring into the season with the fifth annual Art in Bloom at Newfields. From Thursday, March 20 through Sunday, March 23, art and nature collide inside the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. This year’s floral festivities feature 55 flower arrangements by top designers from near and far, each one inspired by a work on view in the IMA Galleries.
Green thumbs and flower fanatics will enjoy free daily demonstrations covering topics from arranging grocery store flowers to how to incorporate edible flowers into your spring.
Back by popular demand, the Art in Bloom Market in the Randolph H. Deer Special Events Pavilion will be your go-to spring shopping destination with local artists Earth + Fire, Sav J. Art and Kassie Woodworth Art; as well as a plant shop hosted by Serendipity Plants. Sip on The Gallery Gardener signature cocktail while you shop and explore. Make your own flower crown then strike a pose at the 360-photo booth.
Early bird gets the worm! Newfields' very own chef will be serving up a small menu of floral inspired fare and specialty drinks from the food truck on your way inside the Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion.
Just like spring, Art in Bloom is fleeting and tickets will sell out. Get yours early. Flower crowns and cocktails are available for purchase.
New memberships and renewals will be 20% off during Art in Bloom when you purchase onsite.
Following Art in Bloom, arrangements will be deconstructed and donated to Random Acts of Flowers.

To mark our fifth anniversary, we’re planting five new experiences:
Fête of Florals
Friday, March 21 | 7–10 PM
Step into spring in style at Fête of Florals—the first soirée of its kind at Art in Bloom at Newfields. Join in on floral festivities, meet some of this year’s designers, and sip and savor from a selection of fare from five local chefs paired with bespoke cocktails, including this year’s signature, The Gallery Gardener. Complimentary beer and wine will be served throughout the evening.
LOVE in Full Bloom: Celebrate 50 years of Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE sculpture with an awe-inspiring floral installation by Jennifer Reed, surrounding this beLOVEd masterpiece in a sea of blooms. Special thanks to Patricia and James LaCrosse for their generous support for this centerpiece.
Daily Members-Only Hour: Rise and shine, Members! Enjoy exclusive early access from 10–11 AM daily, with refreshing mimosas available for purchase at Pop Up: Wine. It’s the perfect way to sip, stroll, and soak in the floral magic before the crowds arrive.
A Literary Garden: Visit the Stout Reference Library to explore a paper flower showcase, crafted by talented artists and inspired by books in our collection. See a new archival display featuring renderings of the museum grounds from 1970.
A Dazzling Digital Display: The digital ceiling in the Clowes Pavilion got a stunning new glow. Don’t miss Inflorescence —a mesmerizing digital artwork by Lightborne which fuses art, nature, and technology in a breathtaking display. This installation will only run during Art in Bloom and is included with your ticket.
