The Horticultural Society of New York (Hort) is hosting a guided walkthrough of the 14th Annual International Juried Botanical Art Exhibition. Open only to members of the Hort and the American Society of Botanical Artists, the guided walkthrough provides a look at the show through the eyes of the jurors before the show closes on Wednesday, November 23rd. Forty-one artwork were selected from a field of 200 submissions by jurors Patricia Jonas, Kathie Miranda, and Derek Norman, by artists from the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and Canada.
Images from the show can be seen on the ASBA’s Blog Posting. Catalogs from this show, as well as other ASBA exhibitions can be ordered through Tania Marien at ArtPlantae.
The walk through is from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. Admission is free, although walk through is open to Hort and ASBA members only. Light refreshments will be served. RSVP to Chris Murtha at the Hort.
The announcement from the Hort for the walk through came with a photo of the opening, showing Akiko Enokido’s and Deb Shaw’s entries in the show. The photo is also part of the opening page slide show on the Hort website (without the labels of course). What fun!
