February 6 through April 25, 2027
Escape into a realm of shimmering color and light at The Orchid Show, where landscape artists Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot reimagine nature’s ephemeral moments through glass, crystal, stone, and orchids. See twinkling sculptural installations hanging from above and laid out below, each framed by thousands of blooms in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Wander through caverns and among scenes of otherworldly beauty, get up close, change your perspective, and lose yourself in delicate, dream-like reflections.
Artists Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot are known for juxtaposing unexpected materials to make places for dreaming that blur the lines between art and landscape. Their works release and refract light, transforming inherent imperfections into beauty marks.
