By Adrienne Art Announces Retail Partnership with the North Carolina

Museum of Art

Chapel Hill, NC — February 24, 2026— By Adrienne Art marks a significant milestone this

spring with the announcement of its retail partnership with the North Carolina Museum of Art

(NCMA), one of the most prestigious art institutions in the South.

Debuting just in time for Art in Bloom—the museum’s celebrated five-day festival and largest annual fundraiser—a curated selection of Adrienne Wiggins’ signature hydrangea and geranium works from the Southern Classics collection will be available in the NCMA Museum Store. The collection includes hand-painted hydrangea Christmas ornaments, fine art magnets, 6x6 and 8x8 hydrangea-on-chinoiserie paintings, and larger hydrangea and geranium paintings offered on consignment.

Established in 1956 as the first state-supported art museum in the United States, the NCMA

houses masterworks by Rembrandt, Picasso, Warhol, and Kehinde Wiley, along with one of the nation’s most significant Rodin sculpture collections. Spanning 164 acres, its Museum

Park—the largest museum park in the country—has positioned the institution as a cultural

cornerstone of North Carolina and a destination for collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

For Wiggins, whose work blends timeless chinoiserie influences with distinctly Southern florals,the partnership represents a meaningful alignment. “The North Carolina Museum of Art represents artistic excellence at the highest level,” she says. “To have my Southern Classics in Chinoiserie collection included in their retail space—especially during Art in Bloom, acelebration of flowers and design—is truly an honor.“

Known for lush palettes and heirloom sensibility, Wiggins’ hydrangeas and geraniums have resonated with collectors seeking refined, joyful works rooted in Southern tradition. The NCMA partnership signals a notable expansion of By Adrienne Art into one of the region’s most respected cultural venues.

The collection will be available at the NCMA Museum Store beginning March 18, 2026,

coinciding with Art in Bloom.
