Art in Bloom this Weekend!!!
Thursday, April 8th, 2010
My friend Tim, of Garland Alliance, will be hosting the main exhibit at this year’s Art in Bloom. What he has described to me sounds absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to see it! I will be going tonight and I highly recommend making it to the MAM this weekend.
Here is the official press release:
A celebration of spring blossoms at the Milwaukee Art Museum Third annual “Art in Bloom” event set for April 8-11, 2010
Spring returns to Milwaukee with the Art In Bloom tribute to art and flowers April 8-11, 2010, at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Showcasing the talents of nearly 40 renowned floral designers interpreting masterworks from the Museum’s Collection, the weekend brings together gardening, floral arranging, landscape design, and environmentally friendly practices beneath the wings of the Museum.
As Art in Bloom continues to grow, this year’s exhibition and programs include lectures and workshops with celebrity floral designers and master gardeners Ed Lyon, Melinda Myers, Bill Radler, and Kevin Ylvisaker; local horticulture expert Melinda Myers; renowned children’s book author Lois Ehlert; and many others. Visitors will also enjoy an expanded multi-vendor indoor marketplace, with original garden sculptures, and floral-inspired dining at the Café Calatrava Garden Room. Guests can also rub elbows with participating experts while supporting the Museum at the Cocktails and Blooms gathering on Thursday, April 8.
Founded in 1888 with holdings of over 20,000 objects, the Museum’s Collection inspires the floral designers of Art in Bloom with stunning works in all media by artists such as Gabriele Münter, Richard Diebenkorn and Georgia O’Keeffe. While the designs join their inspirations in the 100,000 square-foot Collection galleries, the brilliant white halls and auditorium of the Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion afford the backdrop for the weekend’s events, programs, and dining.
“This event brings together so many wonderful sensory experiences,” said Dan Keegan, Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. “Set against the stunning backdrop of the Milwaukee Art Museum, the sights and smells of Art in Bloom come to life in a true celebration of spring.”
Last year’s Art in Bloom event welcomed more than 11,000 people to the Museum over four days. With new additions to the expanded line-up of speakers and presenters, many of whom are from the region, this year’s event is sure to be an even bigger showcase of the area’s most talented floral designers and master gardners. Art in Bloom also continues the popular “Ask A Gardener” table this year, and will offer online ticketing as an added convenience.
Visitors to the 2010 Art in Bloom event will also be treated to a special nod to the Museum’s feature exhibition, Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959, reflected in the landscaping of Windhover Hall. In addition, a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael: The Woman with the Veil (La Donna Velata), will be on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum March 27 through June 6. Rarely lent from the Pitti Palace in Florence, Milwaukee is the last of three stops the painitng makes on a brief U.S. tour, and the only city in the Midwest or eastern part of the United States to feature this exceptional exhibition.
The presenting sponsor of Art In Bloom is the Wisconsin Energy Foundation. Additional support is generously provided by Garland Alliance and the Milwaukee Art Museum Garden Club. The co-chairs of Art in Bloom are Marcia Ferguson Velde and Nancy Hayer. The president of the Milwaukee Art Museum Garden Club is Carol Bessler.

A Moment of Silence for The Recession
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
After Rebel was featured in this week’s Milwaukee Business Journal section “Beat the Recession” we have decided to declare an end to its reign over us. No longer will The Recession control what we buy or how we do business. We will dedicate ourselves to finding new ways to defeat it.
Since this clearly signals the end for our longtime frenemy, we will be holding a moment of silence to remember The Recession. We ask that everyone takes a minute on Friday, from 9:00-9:01 am, to remember the times we shared with Recession.
To check out the article on what Rebel is doing to defeat The Recession, please visit: http://milwaukee.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/stories/2009/04/13/story12.html
