Deets: The National Cherry Blossom Festival today announced the launch of an online auction to find permanent homes for five of its 26 Art in Bloom sculptures.

The Art in Bloom exhibition premiered on March 20 as a signature program of the 2021 National Cherry Blossom Festival. Presented by Amazon, Art in Bloom showcased the visual artistry of 25 talented artists on 26 giant cherry blossom sculptures, bringing joy, whimsy, and the celebration of spring into all eight wards of D.C., plus National Harbor in Maryland and the Aurora Hills and National Landing neighborhoods in Virginia (Arlington) for more than 10 weeks.

Hint for the Average Socialite: The Art in Bloom Auction is open now. Bidding will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 15. Proceeds from the sale of the sculptures will support National Cherry Blossom Festival programs. A portion will be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall’s Cherry Tree Endowment.
