PAST EVENTS
BACA in Bloom
The Branford Arts & Cultural Alliance, BACA, and the Branford Garden Club joined their creative forces in an event on August 11-13.
Fifteen designers displayed floral arrangements that took their inspiration from fifteen works of art displayed in the gallery. The theme was to suggest the synergy between art forms, in this case, floral and paintings. The arrangements were testaments to the emotional impact that a work of art is capable of creating for the viewer.
The Branford Garden Club and BACA have long sought opportunities to create events that reinforce our belief in the beauty that exists in nature and the creative forces that can transform nature into works of art.
