Art in Bloom DC returns to Anderson House for a sixth time on March 19-22! This popular event fills our historic headquarters with more than thirty floral arrangements inspired by the art and architecture of Anderson House. Art in Bloom provides a unique opportunity in the nation’s capital to stroll through the museum at your own pace, viewing interpretations of specific artworks, furnishings and architectural details rendered in a floral medium by some of Washington’s most creative and innovative floral designs.

Visit during regular viewing hours to explore the floral arrangements, tour the museum, and participate in special demo sessions with featured floral designers. And join us for two evening receptions. At the opening reception on Thursday, March 19, be among the first to see the floral artworks and meet the premier local florists who created the displays. And new in 2026, join us for Date Night at Art in Bloom DC on Friday, March 20.

Anderson House is the exclusive venue for Art in Bloom DC and is co-produced by the Institute, Margo Fischer of Bright Occasions, and Ashley Greer of Atelier Ashley Flowers.
