		feature article - april 2010 Art Museum welcomes spring with blooms CELEBRATING SPRINGTIME April 8-11, the Art In Bloom event at the Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Dr., showcases the talents of nearly 40 renowned floral designers interpreting masterworks from the museum's collection. The exhibition also includes lectures and workshops with celebrity floral designers and master gardeners, book signings, an expanded multi-vendor indoor marketplace, garden sculptures and floral-inspired dining in the Café Calatrava Garden Room. Presenting lectures and workshops are celebrity floral designers and master gardeners Ed Lyon, Bill Radler, and Kevin Ylvisaker; local horticulture expert Melinda Myer; renowned children’s book author Lois Ehlert and many others. Floral designers will work with stunning works in all media by artists Gabriele Münter, Richard Diebenkorn and Georgia O’Keeffe. While the designs join their inspirations in the 100,000- square-foot Collection galleries, the brilliant white halls and auditorium of the Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion afford the backdrop for the weekend’s events, programs and dining. Visitors will be treated to a special nod to the museum’s feature exhibition, Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959. In addition, a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael: The Woman with the Veil (La Donna Velata), will be on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum through June 6. Rarely lent from the Pitti Palace in Florence, Milwaukee is the last of three stops the painting makes on a brief U.S. tour. A complete schedule of Art in Bloom programs and events is available at 224-3200 or www.mam.org/bloom. Art In Bloom is included with regular museum admission. The museum is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday. The museum is closed Monday.
