Needham’s Art in Bloom 2017 – March 3rd, 4th, and 5th

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Needham, MA — Beth Shalom Garden Club and the Needham High School Fine Arts Department proudly announce Needham’s Art in Bloom 2017 will be held during the weekend of March 3rd, 4th, and 5th at multiple locations in town. Beth Shalom Garden Club co-chair Sue Kaplan expressed, “It really appeals to everyone – art lovers, flower lovers, seniors, students, couples, families with young children…everyone!” This free, multi-generational exhibit organized by Beth Shalom Garden Club will feature mixed media high school student artwork with floral interpretations designed by its members and participants from Kalmia and Needham garden clubs. This year’s event has been generously supported once again by our primary sponsor Roche Bros. and TripAdvisor.

Needham’s Art in Bloom was modeled after the annual springtime exhibit Art in Bloom presented by the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston. Beth Shalom Garden Club’s goal was to organize a community event that would engage people of all ages, interests, and life experiences. In December 2016, the event was honored with an EXEMPLARY PROJECT AWARD by the Goldin Foundation for Excellence in Education. Projects selected for this national award need to demonstrate a creative and innovative approach that will make a difference within the classroom, school, community. In addition, it must promote academic, social and emotional growth of students while attending to their individual needs and talents. The Garden Club Federation of MA, Inc. awarded the state’s SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD to Beth Shalom Garden Club for it’s successful creation and execution of Needham’s Art in Bloom, in June 2010. The exhibit, now in it’s ninth year, has become a well-received annual event. Last year, over 2,800 people filled the Needham Public Library during the weekend long-exhibit to see the 77 displays.

Needham resident, Jean H. was truly captivated after viewing the art and flowers. She described the sentiments of many visitors in the guest book: “What a wonderful demonstration of the talent in Needham. The student’s work is impressive and thought provoking. The floral demonstrations are beautifully creative and inspiring. This is a lovely example of informal education combined with community spirit. Thank you!”

Spectators can get “a taste” of a few pieces of Needham’s Art in Bloom exhibit that will be on display in Town Hall on Friday, March 3rd from 12 – 4pm, as well as The Center at the Heights, and the Needham High School lobby. The entire exhibit will be on display at the Needham Public library as follows: Saturday, March 4th from 9:00am to 5:00pm and on Sunday, March 5th from 1:00pm to 5:30pm.
