Experience the Best Raleigh Has to Offer

Midtown magazine offers readers an inside look at Raleigh life, from Downtown to Midtown and northward to the 540 outer beltway. Anchored in the “second downtown” of the Midtown/North Hills area, Midtown captures the capital city experiencing an explosion in growth of population, state offices, businesses, medical facilities, and homes and apartments. Blending old historic with the modern new South, Midtown introduces you to the people and places that make Raleigh the hottest place to live, work and play.

One of our favorite events of the year began today with a media preview at @ncartmuseum! Their 10th annual Art in Bloom features the stunning creativity of floral designers from across the state who interpret works of art. This five-day floral fundraiser supports the Museum’s arts programming in North Carolina.

This year’s exhibit is themed the “Decade Show,” and includes 10 large installations portraying the decades from the 1920s through the 2020s. 

As usual, the @traderjoes display is a standout (they were assigned the 1990’s, and they #delivered). Another favorite was the 2000’s, which showcased technology. 

Some non-decade entry faves: Ailsa Tessier’s interpretation of Renaissance Interior with Banqueters (her 10th entry out of 10 years at #artinbloom!) + the arrangement by @dianemakgill.3dbyddesign was simply stunning!
