About Fabulous Florals & Fine Art
Floral Interpretations of Fantastic Artwork
Fabulous Florals & Fine Art is an annual art exhibition that resides in each spring in the James W Hansen Gallery at Pablo Center at the Confluence. Artists and florists are paired together to create floral arrangements that represent the beauty of the artwork they are to reflect.
