"Fleurs de Villes Lunaire has returned to Westfield Valley Fair for another colorful, floral celebration of Lunar New Year. The free exhibition, which opened to the public Wednesday and runs through Feb. 17, showcases the talents of 15 Bay Area floral designers. Their flower and plant-based installations all include the same blank mannequin and represent different aspects of the celebration including Chinese opera and wedding gowns, dragon dances, the lunar cycle, fireworks, red envelopes and gold coins."
"At the center of the exhibition is a stunning monument to the Year of the Horse, created by the Bloomsters team led by owner and lead designer Kren Rasmussen. The Fire Horse is ridden by a female warrior, dressed in scale armor made out of layered succulents. The horse's body is covered with corn husks, the flames are made with dyed wheat stalks and the rider's dark boots are covered with chia seeds."

Fifteen Bay Area floral designers created plant-based installations that use the same blank mannequin to portray Lunar New Year themes such as Chinese opera costumes, wedding gowns, dragon dances, the lunar cycle, fireworks, red envelopes and gold coins. A central monument called the Fire Horse by the Bloomsters team features a female warrior in succulents, a corn-husk–covered horse, dyed wheat flames and chia seed–covered boots. Visitors can vote for favorites to enter a prize drawing including an overnight stay at Rosewood Sand Hill and a $200 Eataly gift card. Teatro Visión premiered the topical play "No Llegamos Aquí Solos" at the School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose, following a young man preparing his grandmother’s birthday while organizing his community.
