The American Society of Botanical Artists launches the 15th Annual International Juried Botanical Art Exhibition at The Horticultural Society of New York later today with an opening reception that begins at 6 PM.
One of the world’s premier venues for botanical art, this exhibition showcases the artwork of both established and emerging botanical artists. Artists from the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom submitted 192 works to jurors Patricia Jonas, Kathie Miranda, and Derek Norman. Forty-three artworks were selected for the exhibition and these pieces will be on view through November 21, 2012.
Visitors will be inspired by artwork created in watercolor, graphite, ink and colored pencil, as well as in media seen less often in botanical art exhibitions (hand-colored aquatint etching, silverpoint, polymer plate etching, and oil).
Workshops and painting demonstrations will be held during the exhibition.
