BLOOMROOM
AT THE DOME

Local DC-born artist Chris Pyrate tells an animated story of spring’s bloom, featuring his signature Cherry Blossoms, flower patterns, aesthetics and characters. Viewers will be in for a surprise as guests begin their visual story in DC, but venture much further, touching on places that have influenced Pyrate’s artistic journey and reflect spring globally.

The Bloomroom will take guests on a truly unforgettable immersive 90-minute visual journey of one-of-a-kind floral artworks from international artist/designer Chris Pyrate, projected above and 360 degrees around the walls of the dome.

Australian digital artist Laura Alice brings Pyrate’s creations to life, animating and projection-mapping the scenes to flow seamlessly above. The animations feature artist Chris Pyrate’s iconic cherry blossoms, shifting between night and day as branches grow and the sky fills with millions of falling blooms, moving in sync with the rhythm of the seasons across the planet.

THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE

As the dome's visuals unfold, Bloomroom’s drinks offer a taste of spring, taking inspiration (via taste, scent and color) from flower markets around the world. Imagine bright, bubbly spritzes, fresh citrus flavors in grapefruit and sage gin & tonics, and boozy cherry soda floats.

VIBRANT SPRING COCKTAILS

Bloomroom’s spring menu embraces a world of flavors, inspired by the spirit of spring's vibrant flower markets. Chefs Nathan Beauchamp and Sam George have drawn inspiration from around the globe, from DC’s own iconic cherry blossoms, to the fragrant stalls of Amsterdam's Bloemenmarkt and London's Columbia Road.

Guests can expect shareable small plates that celebrate the hues of spring, from bright rose and hibiscus, to vibrant english pea and sunset yellow beets, all mirroring the splashes of color within Pyrate's artwork. Several dishes also feature floral infusions, such as edible flowers and herb-infused oils, plus highlight the bounty of seasonal produce like local asparagus, greens and farmstand berries.

SEASONAL SMALL PLATES

Located on the Rooftop at Union Market, find our 50-foot spherical dome high above the bustle of the city, designed to provide unique and seasonal visual experiences throughout the year.

Bloomroom truly brings spring to life, in the form of thousands of hanging flowers, towering floral trees, archways and internationally-inspired flower market displays throughout the unique space. Guests can “travel” through the colorful blooms, visually-inspired by everywhere from the Netherlands’ famed tulip gardens; the Mediterranean’s vibrant lavender, sunflowers, citrus, wildflowers, allium and mimosas; South America’s beautiful roses, and of course, DC and Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms.

The 60-seat dome will be outfitted with over a dozen reservable dining areas where guests can eat, drink and take in the overhead projected experience, while its tented welcome lounge (also open to non-ticket holders) provides additional seating for up to 75, with a bar and TVs.
