Cristi Zarvas, Floral Designer and Instructor at Glen Arbor Arts Center

A couple of years ago, I started teaching floral design at the Glen Arbor Arts Center. It’s been delightful and surprising to see the level of interest in different floral design offerings. For me, supporting the arts means believing in spaces that foster our spirit of curiosity and play. The Arts Center creates spaces and experiences where people can be curious and take risks in a supportive environment. As adults, few places in society invite us into collective curiosity, exploration, and play. As a floral educator, it’s a gift to facilitate these activations in a space that champions the art of all mediums.
