NEWPORT — The annual Art in Bloom event, a fundraiser for both the Four Seasons Garden Club and the Memphremagog Arts Center, will take place August 8-9 at the gallery located at 158 Main Street.
The event kicks off Friday, August 8, from 5-7 p.m. with a reception featuring wine, appetizers and musical entertainment by guitarist Ben Kinsley. Admission to the Friday reception is $10.
The public is invited to visit Saturday, August 9, at no charge. Guests can also view the ongoing “Summer at the Cottage” exhibit during their visit.
“As a summertime favorite, Art in Bloom boasts a beautiful selection of floral arrangements that glean their inspiration from the extraordinary artwork currently on display in the MAC Gallery,” said Jennifer Hopkins, MAC Arts board member. “Interpretation and unique creativity provide a splendid array of visual delights, and amazing fragrances.”
The Memphremagog Arts Center’s summer gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays by chance.
Both the Memphremagog Arts Collaborative and the Four Seasons Garden Club are nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. For more information, call 802-334-1966 or visit www.maccenterforthearts.com and www.fourseasonsgardenclub.org.
