Official opening 3 June 2020
| We suggest you get yourself a glass of something, invite your friends and family (remotely obviously) and enjoy the show. Please revisit this page from 3 June to see the exhibition. |
| This message is to all our lovely artists whose art work has been selected for Plantae 2020 Dear artist, The Society of Botanical Artists is delighted to announce that this year’s Exhibition Plantae 2020 will now go ahead online. We are sure you will agree with us that this Exhibition is a pure Celebration of Beauty in difficult times and we hope that it will bring everyone some joy and positivity. This year’s exhibits have come from both Members and Non-members from across the world and we are proud that we can showcase our collective love of and talents in Botanical Art in all its forms. We are delighted that you are now able to share in it during whatever stage of lockdown you may still be in. The official opening will be on the 3 June 2020 to coincide with the original opening of the Exhibition and will run until the end of June. With many exhibitions around the world being cancelled we are thrilled to be able to bring our SBA show to you online and would like to thank you all for submitting your beautiful work. The decision to go online was a very easy one and the preparation of the show was a delight for us to curate from our locked down homes and studios. This is predominantly a chance to exhibit the work accepted for the 2020 show more than a selling show and this is for practical reasons, and sales enquiries will be handled by the Society in the first instance. Your delighted presidents, Gael Sellwood and Billy Showell |
