Celebrating Trees in Public Gardens
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
May 9, 2019 – August 13, 2019
Worldwide Botanical Art Day Reception and Official Opening of the show Saturday, May 18, 2019 at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. 3 p.m. -6:30 p.m.
Botanically infused delicacies and beverages will be included. Beer and wine for purchase.
Join us for demo’s, tours of the show and keynote speaker Carol Woodin President of the ASBA as she gives a compelling lecture on the Botanical Art Worldwide project.
Forty-four artworks have been selected for inclusion in this exhibition of depictions of one of the planet’s most important and beautiful resources. These tree subjects have been found in botanical gardens and arboreta throughout the US and around the world. To see the list of artists, please click on the Artists tab above.
This project has been in the making for three years, inviting artists to capture images of one of the planet’s most important and beautiful resources, as cultivated by botanical gardens and arboreta. A central goal with the exhibition is to highlight the role botanical gardens and arboreta play in educating the public about trees and their ecological and utilitarian roles, as well as the research/scholarship they do in these areas. However, artists also respond aesthetically to these inspiring subjects, and have depicted anything from seedpods to branches and bark to an entire forest floor.
Catalog will be available for purchase in the gift shop.
