Art Alive brings a stunning array of colorful floral interpretations of art from the Museum collection and a weekend of fun-filled events, large-scale art, and flower installations. The 2026 event draws inspiration from the Museum’s Centennial exhibition featuring its renowned collection of works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Art Alive will be infused with the vibrant, theatrical spirit of late 19th-century Paris, brought to life through Toulouse-Lautrec’s distinctive artistic lens. See the Museum rotunda transform with a beautiful floral installation by 2026 Rotunda Designer Kelsea Olivia, Founder & Creative Director of East Olivia, experience special art installations only on view during Art Alive, and enjoy hands-on art-making and interactive activities designed for families and artists of all ages to do together in the Garden of Activities Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26. Art Alive is The San Diego Museum of Art’s signature annual fundraiser, providing essential support for the Museum’s exhibitions, education, outreach, and public programs. Talented floral designers fill the galleries with fragrant arrangements inspired by the Museum collection, offering a brilliantly colored backdrop for a weekend of beloved traditions and art-inspired activities.
