About Arts In Bloom
For the fifth year in a row, artists from all over Salem County are coming together to share their studios with the public for a two-day, county-wide event. “Arts in Bloom”, the free two-day art event will happen on May 17 and 18, and will span over 30+ locations throughout Salem County NJ. Visitors will enjoy open studios and gallery tours featuring local artists, with activities including pottery demonstrations, leatherworking, stained glass, puppetry, and much more.

This year features more than 50 artists in a wide variety of media. This increasingly popular event offers visitors an opportunity to see the spaces where local art is created while exploring Salem County’s beautiful countryside.
As in prior years, local restaurants and cafes are also a part of the event. Many local eateries will be offering discounts to Arts in Bloom participants and visitors, and some are offering “food on the go” for people who want to see as many of the artists’ studios as they possibly can.
