One of the most anticipated springtime events in New Orleans, Art in Bloom showcases spectacular floral designs created by over 100 exhibitors that remain on display at NOMA for four days, from March 28-31.  Proceeds from Art in Bloom benefit education projects and exhibitions at NOMA and community projects of The Garden Study Club of New Orleans.

With a focus on light, transformation and discovery as New Orleans enters its fourth century, Art in Bloom’s 2019 event theme is Illuminations: Looking Within and Beyond. After an extraordinary tricentennial year of reflection and celebration, 2019 affords us the opportunity to look ahead with limitless imagination and innovation. Echoing Until Today, NOMA’s survey of pioneering conceptual light and sculptural artist Keith Sonnier, Illuminations will feature the most creative minds of our city expressing the brilliant future of New Orleans and the radiance of the citizens that will inhabit it through botanicals, florals, ephemeral materials and an inventive use of light.

MARCH 28 | LECTURES & LUNCHEON

9:30 AM| Putnam and Putnam | NOMA

From lavish opulence to pared-down restraint, Putnam & Putnam’s highly customizable floral arrangements are uniquely tailored for every occasion. Founded in 2014 by Darroch, a photographer by trade, and Michael, a formally trained interior designer, the Putnams’ signature designs meld site-specific drama with gentle precision, which have garnered the attention of clients like Bergdorfs, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, among other countless clients. Ranging from the darker, muted palettes in the Dutch tradition to blinding neons looking to the future, Putnam & Putnam’s neverending perspectives on color help pave a new narrative for every client. Most recently, they have authored “The Flower Color Guide”, the first reference book to organize flower types by color, with an emphasis on seasonality and creative color schemes – and the results are stunning in their sheer variety. What Pantone is to color, Flower Color Guide is to flowers.

10:45 AM | Nicky Haslam | NOMA
