From Thursday, Sept. 4 through Sunday, Sept. 7, Meadow Brook’s annual limited-run floral art tour will fill the estate’s woodland paths with large scale art installations created by flowers. See more than a dozen outdoor installations, then go inside for even more!
The 2025 Art in the Elements theme is Kaleidoscope. Imagine a cacophony of color and light. Petals of every description collide to form unique patterns, shapes and images. A whirlwind of beauty awaits, as a kaleidoscope of natural elements converge in an unforgettable display of floral art.
Art in the Elements features the work of floral artists from southeast Michigan and around the country. This year, the exhibit will also include indoor installations from several student artists from the International Academy of Macomb.
