This juried exhibition highlights works of art spanning across a plethora of differing artistic mediums. “Flowers have been utilized as a form of visual communication for centuries, its symbology reflecting both social changes and artistic innovations throughout time.” tells Danielle Dieterich, Director of CVAC. “This exhibition shall highlight the visual impact of flowers through a variety of different mediums.”

This exhibition opens to the public on Tuesday June 26th. A People’s Choice selection process will take place starting June 26th.
