Art in Bloom

PRESENTED BY AMAZON

ART IN BLOOM

Art in Bloom, presented by Amazon, celebrates the magical and whimsical mystique of the D.C. area, while honoring its vibrant arts scene.

A community-wide visual arts exhibition, Art in Bloom radiates spring with 26 oversized cherry blossom statues that have been painted by local artists and placed in  in all eight wards of the District, plus Maryland’s National Harbor and the Aurora Highlands and National Landing neighborhoods in Northern Virginia.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to go on a Blossom Hunt – finding the sculptures, posting a photo to Instagram or Twitter; tagging the Festival and using #artinbloom in the caption. Now through May 31, 2021, the Festival is randomly selecting one photo entry per week to win a $25 Amazon gift card; and selecting one photo entry at the end of May to receive a $500 Amazon gift card.

To learn more about the artists, see behind-the-scenes videos of their sculptures coming to life, and view the #ArtInBloom Photo Contest entries, go to nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/art-in-bloom.
