Valentine in Bloom: Afternoon Tea & Chocolate

Join us on the opening day of A Life in Bloom: The Floral Paintings of Julia McEntee Dillon and be among the first to experience one of the most comprehensive presentations of Dillon’s work.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Albany Institute with tea, chocolate, and art. For $5, guests are invited to enjoy a cup of specialty Harney & Sons tea paired with a handcrafted sweet from Krause’s Chocolates—a simple indulgence to share with someone you love, or treat yourself! While you sip and savor, materials will be available to make a Valentine's card or collage in the museum cafe.
