DUBOIS – The Winkler Gallery and Art Education Center of DuBois is excited to host a premier spring event on April 29-30.
Art in Bloom will be a fundraiser event that combines the elegance or whimsy of floral arrangements with the beauty of the gallery’s fine art.
The gallery will also highlight its mission of art education through demonstrations and classes featuring local florists and gallery artists.
Art in Bloom is sponsored by Brady Street Florist, Ramhorn Distillery and The Winery at Wilcox. The floral exhibits and reception are free and open to the public.
Registration for classes or lunch is online at www.winklergallery.org/art-in-bloom. Class descriptions are provided at the registration link.
