Art in Bloom is presented by Friends of the Institute, an organization that has provided benevolent support to the MIA for 92 years. Friends support the extensive educational outreach of the MIA helping to make art accessible to everyone. Last year, nearly 93,000 pre-K through grade 12 students were served by off-site arts education, making the MIA one of the largest arts educators in the state. And, a whopping 81,000 students made a trip to the MIA for a guided tour!

We thank all those whose generous support and hard work make Art in Bloom possible. We offer heartfelt thanks to commercial florists and pedestal floral artists, whose floral arrangements surprise and delight us every year. We are deeply grateful for the donation of countless hours and valuable talent by volunteers of the AIB Committee. We give great thanks to the creative and outstandingly gifted MIA staff. Finally, we are most grateful for the generous support of Honorary Chairs, Ben Jaffray and Nivin MacMillan, and our many outstanding sponsors and patrons.

Enjoy Art in Bloom and please consider becoming a Friend of the Institute.

With kindest regards,
AIB-sigs
