The Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) is set to host its annual "Art in Bloom" festival from February 28 to March 2. This year's event is presented by Bank of America and will be open to the public from 10 a.m. each day, with early access for museum members starting at 8 a.m.
During the festival, floral designers will create arrangements inspired by 30 artworks from SLAM's collection. While general admission remains free, some events require tickets.
The festival kicks off with a preview party on February 27, chaired by Karen Jordan and Ryan Peacock. The evening includes cocktails, dinner, and live music in Sculpture Hall. Tickets for the fundraiser are priced at $175 per person and can be purchased at slam.org/BloomParty starting January 10.
"Flowers After Hours," an exclusive event for those aged 21 and over, will take place on the evening of March 1. It features live music, cocktails, and more. General tickets cost $45 ($35 for members), while the new Premium Package costs $120 ($100 for members). Tickets are available through MetroTix.
Family Florals will conclude the weekend on March 2 with activities like art projects and a scavenger hunt starting at noon. These activities are supported by KPMG.
Panorama Restaurant will host special dining events during the festival, including "Sips and Snacks" on Friday night and tea services throughout the weekend. Reservations are required via resy.com.
Due to anticipated high attendance, parking near SLAM is limited. A complimentary shuttle service will run every 20 minutes between the museum and nearby parking lots at Forest Park’s Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center.
