Fleurs de Villes ARTISTE – an immersive exhibition celebrating Boston’s floral artistry, inspired by the iconic collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MFA).
Fleurs de Villes, the world-renowned immersive floral show returned to Prudential Center for the Boston premiere of their new exhibition: Fleurs de Villes ARTISTE – a fresh floral celebration of remarkable artists. Inspired by the global collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), this unique floral exhibition featured 23 incredible floral masterpieces created by Boston’s talented floral designers. This free 5-day floral celebration was open to the public September 18th through September 22nd.
At Prudential Center guests enjoyed 16 floral mannequins throughout the Center as well as stunning floral displays at Earls Kitchen + Bar, Eataly, and View Boston. In addition, they could shop for local blooms at a pop-up flower market in Center Court and sip prosecco, enjoy Italian bites and learn expert tips to create their own floral masterpieces at the Eataly floral workshop.
Guests were encouraged to extend their ARTISTE experience by visiting more incredible MFA-inspired floral mannequins on display at locations throughout the city, including 200 Clarendon and Boston Marriott Copley Place. The final ARTISTE floral mannequin was on display at the MFA where guests could also view the artworks that inspired each floral design.
