Spring is just two weeks away — and so is this annual exhibition, fundraiser, and event-filled weekend at the Columbia Museum of Art.

If you haven’t already marked your calendar for this year’s Art Blossoms, it kicks off with an opening night party on Wednesday, March 20, followed by four dazzling days of botanical beauty and a stacked schedule of classes, guest speakers, tastings + tours, and more.
