Fine Art & Flowers at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

Fine Arts & Flowers 2026 is a spectacular museum-wide exhibition of stunning floral designs inspired by works of art in VMFA’s permanent collection. These extraordinary floral arrangements are created by designers from the Garden Club of Virginia, the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, and Ikebana of Richmond.
The exhibition is free.
The festivities begin the evening before the exhibition opens, with a glittering Opening Preview Gala on October 7. Gala tickets go on sale May 1.
Special events throughout the exhibition include talks by renowned speakers, luncheons, guided tours, floral workshops, a fashion show featuring designs by VCUarts fashion students, children’s activities, and more. Special event tickets go on sale May 1.
Proceeds from Fine Arts & Flowers sponsorships and special event ticket sales will support the largest expansion and renovation project in the 90-year history of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Held biennially since 1987, Fine Arts & Flowers is presented by The Council of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
