'Bouquets to Arts' exhibit takes over two San Francisco museums
San Francisco's Legion of Honor celebrates its 100th anniversary by hosting the "Bouquets to Art" exhibit, featuring floral designs inspired by classic artworks. Lead designer Raul Duenas describes the museum as a unique canvas for creativity, allowing floral artists to reinterpret iconic pieces. Vanessa Marlin initially considered live models for her design but opted for a mannequin from a clearance sale instead. Nona Tai's floral arrangement symbolizes the transformative power of love, reflecting the story behind the artwork. The exhibit's expansion aims to enhance visitor experience while supporting the museum's fundraising efforts.
Concurrently, the de Young Museum features modern floral displays, offering a diverse artistic experience. This dual exhibition not only celebrates art but also showcases the talent of local floral designers. Visitors can purchase tickets to enjoy both exhibits in one day.
