In Blowing Rock, spring arrives slowly—edging in with misty mornings, soft greens, and the first brave blooms amidst lingering snow flurries. Springtide, drawn from BRAHM’s Permanent Collection, brings together works that reflect the quiet, floral unfolding of the natural world. Presented in conjunction with the Museum’s 2026 focus on the American landscape, this installation offers a moment of warmth and renewal as the season begins to stir.
