Flowers hold a quiet mystery. They are fleeting, luminous, and generous—reminding us of what is briefly beautiful in our lives. Their glow feels like an invitation.
Loading Dock Gallery welcomes the warmth of summer with Full Bloom 8, a vibrant celebration of flowers, birds, insects, gardens, and the wonder found in small, radiant moments. Featuring work by Loading Dock Gallery members, this exhibition captures the color, energy, and renewal that define the season.
As daylight lingers and blossoms unfold, artists turn their attention to nature’s cycles of growth and transformation. The works in Full Bloom 8 evoke memory, hope, and the simple joy gardens bring. Though nature’s beauty exists to lure pollinators, it also calls to us—drawing us closer, inviting reflection.
Join us for a show alive with color and light.
Full Bloom 8 will be open Wednesdays-Fridays 12–5:30 PM and weekends 10 AM–3:30 PM, April 29 through May 31. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, May 2, from 3–5 PM, coinciding with Western Avenue Studios’ Open Studios.
