The museum will once again blossom with the vibrant colors of spring as we celebrate the revival of Art in Bloom. See the creative floral displays inspired by fine art, take part in special programs and events, enjoy family-friendly activities, and much more!
Art in Bloom’s stature will be heightened on a regional, national, and international stage by:
- expanding reach in recruitment of floral artists,
- creating themed activations tailored for visitors,
- identifying vignettes, genres, and specific artists throughout the museum to inspire floral artistry (rather than solely relying on individual pieces of art for inspiration),
- improving visitor experiences and discoveries throughout the galleries—and more!
The museum recommends that visitors planning to dine at the Terrace Café that weekend make reservations due to anticipated demand. Make reservations by phone (513-639-2986).
If you need accessibility accommodations, please contact us in advance at [email protected] or fill out the accessibility request form.

2024 Art in Bloom Jury
Meet the distinguished 2024 Art in Bloom Floral Art Selection Jury:
- Christopher Griffin, also known as ‘Plant Kween’, a Brooklyn-based Black, queer, non-binary kween and author of ‘You Grow, Gurl!’
- Kevin Hart, sommelier and owner of Hart & Cru
- John Hinger, principal and owner of Quince & Quinn, a design and lifestyle store

Importantly, Art in Bloom will prominently feature Natasja Sadi, who will drive theming and activations. The Amsterdam-based floral artist creates arrangements from flowers and photo-realistic sugar flowers that she makes, all inspired by Dutch-masters paintings and many of which are held in Delftware vessels. Ms. Sadi recently released the book A Sweet Floral Life. Follow her Instagram account @cakeatelieramsterdam.
