Join us on Facebook Thursday, October 7 at 12 p.m. for another virtual Art on Demand event brought to you by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) in partnership with Alys Beach, 30a.com and Florida Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture.

In this episode, meet local artist, fashion stylist and monarch butterfly advocate Allyson Longshore. Discover how she launched her newest passion project, Metamorph Blooms, and what makes it so incredibly unique. Learn a little about each stage of the monarch life cycle and garner a few tips for starting your own butterfly garden!

Metamorph Blooms is about transformation. It’s about taking something small, fragile, and simple, and watching it change into something magnificent. It’s about becoming new in an entirely different form. It’s about the strength that can only be created through struggle. It’s about the struggle to get out of the cocoon. It’s about the glitter and gold that we are all born with naturally and doesn’t need to be painted on. It’s about the true artwork that is life.

This event will be viewable on the 30A Facebook page as well as available post-premiere on the CAA’s website at CulturalArtsAlliance.com. For more information about Allyson and Metamorph Blooms, visit MetamorphBlooms.com.
