Support Art Alive: The Annual Celebration of Art and Florals Returns at San Diego Museum of Art

Friday, June 18–Sunday, June 20
8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. PT

Art Alive 2021 kicks off the summer on June 17–20 with beautiful florals and a full weekend of newly imagined festive events. See spectacular floral interpretations of nearly 100 works of art throughout the Museum; admire the Museum rotunda's transformation into a large, all-encompassing floral installation (pictured above) by 2021 Rotunda Designer Beth O’Reilly; and enjoy first looks at two new extraordinary exhibitions—contemporary works from Spanish artist Ana de Alvear and masterpieces from the world-renowned Bemberg Foundation.

Plus, extend your experience with new Art Alive events:

·       Open Air Floral Affair expands the sights, scents, and sounds of the floral exhibition to the Plaza de Panama with food, family-friendly fun, and an Art Alive Marketplace.

·       The Premiere Dinner moves under the stars.

·       Virtual Art Alive 2021 goes behind the scenes and delivers online festivities, including a 360 virtual tour of the floral exhibition, a live video feed of the Museum rotunda, a virtual silent auction, at-home workshops for all ages, and more.

Timed tickets to the Art Alive floral exhibition and Open Air Floral Affair are now available to the public! Additional Art Alive experiences to celebrate arts and florals in person and online are also available. Choose your Art Alive experience today.
