Art in Bloom will feature a silent art auction, art sale, refreshments and an exhibition of flower-themed works from the Westport Public Art Collections.

The Friends group, which provides a large share of the collections’ annual budget, hopes to raise $15,000 from the event, according to organizers.

Comprising nearly 2,000 artworks, the Westport Public Art Collections include a range of media by well-known artists, many of whom lived or had studios in the Westport area. 

Works from the collections are displayed in local schools and municipal buildings. They also are shown in special exhibitions at local venues, such as the Westport Library and MoCA Westport.
