About
Inspired by flowers, North American artists working across time, cultural traditions, and artistic styles have embraced floral beauty in the natural world. Beyond the Bouquet highlights works from the permanent collection that showcase how artists' explorations of joy, ritual, and knowledge through flowers can touch our own lives and shared experiences.
This exhibition is organized by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, and generously supported by the Katharine T. and Merrill G. Beede 1929 Fund.
