The Cincinnati Art Museum will present its annual Art in Bloom celebration from April 23 through April 26, 2026, featuring floral interpretations of works from the museum’s permanent collection by more than 60 designers from around the world. Pre-event programming runs April 13–17. General admission to the museum remains free throughout the event, though select programs require tickets.

This year’s programming centers on artist Susan McLeary, known professionally as Passionflower Sue, who will create live floral headpiece installations in Gallery 126 on April 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. McLeary will also lead ticketed workshops and deliver a public lecture. Artist ASHA AMA Daniels will organize a fashion show featuring collaborative pieces with McLeary. Additional programming includes a tea party hosted by Churchill’s Fine Teas, a tile workshop with Rookwood Pottery, and jazz performances throughout the museum.

Art in Bloom is presented by The Oliver Family Foundation and Fifth Third Bank, with additional support from the Wyler Family Foundation, Constellation Wealth Advisors, and TQL. Tickets are available at cincy.art/AIB, with discounted rates for museum members. Extended morning hours from 9 to 11 a.m. are available to members Friday through Sunday. Reservations at the Terrace Café are recommended by calling 513-639-2986, and boxed lunches will be available in the Great Hall on April 23–25.
