(Newtown, Pa.) – Thanks to special collaboration between Bucks County Community College’s Continuing Education Floral Design program and the Arts and Communication Department, the third annual Art That Blooms Exhibition will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, November 9-10. Floral and art students will showcase their finest floral-themed works as gorgeous blooms harmoniously blend with fabulous art throughout the halls of the Hicks Art Center on the Newtown Campus. This special exhibit will feature dozens of stunning interpretative floral displays, incredible paintings, beautiful glass sculptures, and rich wood workings.
The Art That Blooms festival will include a demonstration series from the Art Department and the Continuing Education Department floral team and students. Demonstrations will take place every hour and free make and take sessions for kids and adults will be available throughout the weekend.
The festival is free for the community to attend and there is ample free parking. A food truck will be on the premises on Saturday and Sunday for attendees to purchase refreshments. Creative maker vendors will be selling their products outside Hicks Art Center on both days.
