About the Guild

- Exhibit opportunities
- Great workshops
- An inspiring group of artists
Membership in the Guild is open to all who are interested in learning more about botanical art. Artists, collectors, and nature lovers are welcome to become part of our efforts to stimulate awareness and appreciation of the art of botanical illustration.
Members are eligible to exhibit their work in our online gallery and in public exhibits sponsored by the Guild each year. Since 1998, our Guild exhibits our members' work in or around the Los Angeles area.
Throughout the year, the Guild sponsors and organizes workshops in various media for our members. Past workshops have featured teaching by master botanical artists such as Martha Kemp, and master instructor Anne Marie Evans. Our quarterly newsletter includes information about exhibit opportunities for artists as well as announcements of upcoming exhibits for art lovers and collectors.
The Guild meets several times a year to conduct business, hold educational activities, and plan upcoming events. Periodic mailings and e-mails keep members up-to-date on local activities, technical tips, and available resources.
