Fleurs de Villes ARTISTE at Hudson Yards is back for the fifth year. The free flower show is now in New York City from October 4 -13, 2024. As co-founder Tina Barkley says, this show offers the best local florists an opportunity to "go beyond the bouquet" and stretch their creativity. The floral installations interpret different artists throughout history with 10-foot-tall floral-clad mannequins.
Among the giant floral sculptures were interpretations of Queen Elizabeth, designer Elsa Schiaparelli and works by painters Salvador Dali and Edouard Manet. Plus just like Hamilton was a hit on Broadway, it is also a winner here with an impressive installation that included a structure of Independence Hall. There is even a Martha Stewart installation tapping into the first self-made billionaire's star status.
Also must be something in the ether. Angelina Jolie is starring in a movie about Maria Callas and the opera singer is also depicted in a work by YK Flora Designs.
The flower show is free to the public and constructed throughout the first floor of Hudson Yards. Furthermore, workshops and demonstrations led by local florists will also take place on the second floor. For these installations, fresh flowers are used and the master florists had to be both creative and efficient.
