Sculpted In Summer celebrates the unique connection between the art of floral design and works of fine art.
The idea is simple: A work of art in the museum’s collections that inspires is selected and a ‘living’ sculpture from either living flowers, cut or dried stems or edibles is created. The end result may be simple and elegant, or wild and outrageous..the possibilities are endless!
Join us Friday, July 6 at 5 pm, when these living sculptures are unveiled to the public as part of the Dubuque Museum of Art’s popular First Fridays series.
