Art in Bloom (AIB) is a ticketed event to help raise funds for more community outreach, scholarships, and hopefully a larger art center in the future.

AIB is a juried event and fundraiser for Arts on the Coast. 20-25 works will be selected for this event and paired with a floral designer who will reinterpret the artwork in floral form. ***This does not mean you need to paint flowers*** The subject matter is wide open.

Deadline for artists to apply is March 1, 2025. All entries must be submitted online at the AOC website with a high-quality image(s) of the work. Artists may only submit 1 work for consideration. You can submit multiple images of the entry to show how it from different angles, framing, etc.

Artists will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2025. Accepted artists will receive one complimentary ticket to Art in Bloom. Not all artists will have their work paired with a florist, that is entirely contingent upon the number of florists we have signed up to participate.

Works that are juried into the show may NOT be pre-sold prior to the event. All selected works must be available for sale with all sales going through Arts on the Coast. This is a juried competition and our biggest fundraiser of the year. Much work goes into coordinating the pairing of floral designers with artists. If an artist does not comply with these guidelines, they risk acceptance into future exhibitions.
