Art Blooms 2026: Color Abounds

Color abounded in art and flowers at Akron Art Museum on September 23 when Akron Garden Club presented Art Blooms 2026, a Garden Club of America (GCA) flower show featuring outstanding floral design, horticulture, photography, botanical arts, and conservation exhibits.

Highlights included 16 floral designs paired with works of art, arrayed throughout the galleries. There were eight botanical arts entries—cuff bracelets and bento boxes hand-embellished entirely with dried botanical material. The McDowell Grand Lobby featured 30 classes of seasonal cut horticultural specimens, cacti, orchids, kokedama, container gardens and more, as well as two dozen landscape and horticultural photographs of fine-art quality. An education exhibit shared the story of the native plant garden in Summit Metro Parks’ newest park.
