Art in Bloom 2026 is Arts on the Coast’s annual juried fundraiser, celebrating the creative dialogue between visual art and floral design. Taking place on April 25, 2026, at Heartwood, the event will feature 20–25 selected works of art, each paired—when possible—with a participating floral designer who will interpret the artwork in floral form.
As we begin the new year, the Art on the Coast community has several important events, deadlines, and exhibition opportunities ahead. From our next quarterly meeting to ArtNite: Nostalgia and preparations for Art in Bloom, now is the time to plan, prepare, and participate.
The Arts on the Coast (AOC) quarterly meeting has been moved to December 1, taking place from 6–8 PM at the Richmond Hill City Center (520 Cedar Street). This meeting is the ideal time for members to pick up artwork from the Lore show and drop off new pieces for the upcoming exhibit.
Join us on Saturday, November 8, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. for the Bryan County Schools Art Show Reception and Musical Performance at The Gallery at South Coast Health Pediatrics, located at 89 Interchange Street, Richmond Hill, Georgia 31324.
2026 UPCOMING AOC + COMMUNITY ART EVENTS
Join the Arts on the Coast as we gather for art fellowship - touching base, catching up and seeing/critiquing and getting feedback about the latest pieces of work created.
If you cannot make it to the Quarterly Meeting on February 9, you can drop off works at the AOC Gallery located inside the Richmond Hill Visitor’s Center, 10750 Ford Avenue from 10-2 on February 10. Please wrap your pieces as they will be transported to the City Center for hanging.

We are excited to host our first fundraising event for Arts on the Coast. Art in Bloom will take place on April 25, 2026 at Heartwood. This will be a ticketed event to help raise funds for more community outreach, scholarships, and hopefully a larger art center in the future.
