Dear Friends,

Our leadership has dedicated the past weeks to researching an alternative location, the Katzen Arts Center being unavailable, to host BLOOM this spring. We are a large show requiring over 35,000 square feet with unencumbered access to over forty fine arts and antiques dealers and 4500+ attendees. After extensive exploration, we have concluded there is not a comparable alternative to host a full-scale event.  

Therefore, we will celebrate BLOOM in the spring gardens of Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens on the evening of Thursday, May 5 from 6–8:30 pm. We will celebrate the resilience of our community and the promise of our future as we will introduce at this time the chairs and theme of our 2023 Show which will take place January 5–8, 2023. Our organization is stronger despite the challenges these past years have presented and we will continue to create and grow to meet the needs of the charities we serve, The John T. Bishop Walker School for Boys, St. John’s Community Services and THEARC.   

Your funds will be considered fully tax-deductible for 2022 and a letter of your gift should have been sent to you in February.  If you have not received your letter or have additional questions, please contact our office at at your earliest convenience.

PLEASE remember to RSVP here and include your name and the name of your guest(s) so we can plan with our vendors. We ask you do this by April 26, 2022. Benefactors at the level of $1000. are entitled to two tickets. Those with Bronze and above should refer to your sponsorship levels for how many guests you are entitled to bring with you. We look forward to seeing you on the RED CARPET at Hillwood on May 5, 2022.

Wishing all of you a wonderful spring season!
