🧚🏽 Our first look back at the inaugural Art in Bloom

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to everyone who helped bring this day to life.

🌸 To our participating artists, performers, volunteers, community partners, sponsors, and every guest who chose to spend part of their Sunday with us, thank you !

Watching the Bellevue Botanical Garden come alive with art, music, creativity, and genuine connection was something I’ll never forget.

This was the very first Art in Bloom, and seeing so many of you embrace the vision means more than you know 🥹

🌸 Thank you for being part of it 💛

💖 No pressure.
No performance.
Just music, movement… and being in it together.

👉🏽 Last year, the line dance floor turned into one of my favorite moments of the entire event strangers laughing, learning, messing up, trying again… and leaving a little more connected than they came.

🤠So we’re bringing it back.

This year we’re holding space for a full hour of line dance lessons at Shades of Brilliance with Ms Kelly!

You don’t have to know the steps.
You just have to show up.

Come as you are.
We’ll meet you on the dance floor 🖤

June 7th 3pm

💜 People always ask what Shades of Brilliance is…

And the truth is, it’s hard to explain.

Because it’s not just an artwalk!
It’s what happens when people feel safe enough to show up as themselves…
and leave a little more connected than they came.

It’s strangers turning into conversations.
Conversations turning into community.
And community turning into something that actually stays with you.

Last year we welcomed over 1,200 guests
and generated $20,000+ in sales for Black artists…
but the real impact?

You can feel it in these photos.

If you’ve been looking for something real…
this is your invitation.

Come see what it feels like.

We’ll be waiting for you.
