Speakers: Joanne Garrison and Carol Rossi, Docents, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Bouquets to Art is an annual one-week-only exhibition at San Francisco’s de Young Museum where florists, designers and garden clubs display stunning bouquets adjacent to the artwork that inspired them. Carol and Joanne will give us a behind the scenes look at how the florists are selected, the requirements imposed on them by the museum, and how the artwork is selected and paired with each florist. Carol and Joanne’s presentation will also include examples of how different florists have interpreted the same piece of art over the years.

First Wednesday Art Talks are sponsored by the Friends of the San Rafael Public Library. The lectures are held in the Council Chambers at San Rafael City Hall,1400 Fifth Avenue, beginning promptly at 1:00 p.m. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. Seating is limited. Admission is free.
