Art Exhibit

Diversity in the Botanical World

Works by the Northern California Society of Botanical Artists   |  May – August, 2013

From May through August, the Library will host Diversity in the Botanical World: Works by the Northern California Society of Botanical Artists. This juried exhibition will feature botanical art in varied mediums including watercolor, colored pencil and pen and ink and will emphasize plants of Northern California and San Francisco Botanical Garden. Subjects will include California natives and exotic cultivars.

 


NCalSBA, a chapter of the American Society of Botanical Artists, presents this exhibition in keeping with its mission: "To create public awareness and appreciation for historical and contemporary botanical art in the communities of Northern California and seek to educate the public on plant diversity, regional plant ecology and the rationale for preservation of plant species." Member artists live and work throughout Northern California and exhibit as a group in various botanical gardens and galleries in the San Francisco Bay Area.
