The National Gallery of Victoria Women’s Association (NGVWA) is bringing a spectacular floral display to Melbourne. See over 20 of Australia’s leading floral artists and creatives put together a stunning array of blooms. Each display will be a vivid interpretation of works currently held in the NGV Collection. Dubbed Art of Bloom, this event is an evolution of the previous Art of Dining experience, which took place in 2019. This artistic event will kick off with a Gala Cocktail Party on Wednesday May 3, and the creations will stay on display until May 5.
