2017 Art In Bloom Chair Sarah Jo Hardin Reveals Plans For Dallas Museum Of Art March Fundraiser

Nov 23, 2016 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Plans for the 2017 Art in Bloom fundraiser for the Dallas Museum of Art were unveiled at Highland Park Village’s St. John back on Wednesday, October 19, completed with champagne. Here’s a report from the field:

The Dallas Museum of Art League unveiled details for “Art in Bloom 2017:  Seasons of Love,’ at a recent cocktail reception held at St. John in Highland Park Village on Wednesday, October 19 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Art in Bloom Chair Sarah Jo Hardin and Honorary Chair Jill Goldberg welcomed 35 host committee members in celebration of the upcoming annual floral symposium and luncheon set for Monday, March 27. Proceeds from the event support the DMA’s exhibition and education programs and the DMA League’s Floral Endowment Fund.

Attendees enjoyed champagne and canapés as they shopped St. John’s fall collection.  Mrs. Hardin gathered the crowd mid-way through the evening to share exciting details about Art in Bloom 2017, which will feature world-renowned Dutch-born floral designer and educator René van Rems as the symposium speaker. The venue for the announcement party was no coincidence as she also unveiled that St. John will be the 2017 Luxury Fashion sponsor. 

Additionally, the 2017 event will include an inaugural Live Blooming Art Exhibit in the Dallas Museum of Art’s Level 2 European galleries featuring a unique display of floral arrangements, created by local floral designers and inspired by works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection. Art in Bloom patrons will be the first to preview the show, with the exhibition remaining on view for DMA visitors through Wednesday, March 29.

Ms. Hardin extended her gratitude for the host of the evening, St. John, as well as all sponsors to date, host committee members in attendance and volunteers. Honorary chairman Jill Goldberg followed to add her thanks, especially to Ms. Hardin for her time and commitment as event chairman.

As the evening came to an end, the winner of a $250 St. John gift card was announced…. Emily Maduro!
