The SBA has changed and created a new and open level of membership, open to all who love the botanical arts. Open membership is aimed at anyone interested in botanical art. We hope it will appeal to all who love the art, our former students and to those who are aspiring to be practising botanical artists as well as those interested in painting and drawing. All are welcome to become members. You simply need to pay a joining fee and you will become a member and enjoy the benefits.
(Changes: Life Friend members will continue as before but benefit from all open membership benefits, Friends category will be replaced by open membership.)
