INSPIRED BY OUR 2020 GALLERY EXHIBITION
ARRANGEMENTS
What can we learn about ourselves and our values by looking at flowers? In the exhibition Arrangements, artists look at the many meanings attributed to cut flowers, gardens and wild plants to explore how people use flowers to communicate all kinds of ideas. The artworks in the exhibition go beyond ideas of beauty to take an unexpected look at this familiar floral subject matter.
Big idea: People use flowers to communicate.
