Florilegium Exhibitions in England

Florilegium Societies are typically comprised of professional or semi-professional botanical artists.
See a list of Florilegium Societies in the UK. |
Their exhibitions tend to be more ad hoc and are certainly not held every year.
Exhibitions will be listed here as an when I become aware of them. |
Local Botanical Art Societies
Local botanical art societies very often emerge if there is active teaching of botanical art and illustration in an area. Students learn, then want to exhibit and before you know it another society of botanical artists has been formed.

ICENI BOTANICAL ARTISTS
Floral Art - Reawakening One of the benefits of recent times has been the amount of time available for art. Many of the artworks in this exhibition will have been drawn and painted under conditions of social isolation over the last 18 months. All the artists are now keen to display the plants they found to portray during this time. Venue: The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 1PR Dates: 16th - 22nd October 2021 Green spaces, gardens and gardening have been a salvation for many during the turmoil of the pandemic – a place of safety, peace and beauty with time to sit and admire the natural living world all around, plus a possible escape from the traumas that have confronted us all. Many of the paintings on view at our exhibition will have been painted during these difficult times and we hope they give as much pleasure to view as has given us to create. |

Other GROUP SHOWS of Botanical Art in 2021
The difference between an art society and a group is that
- the latter tends to be more informal
- it may not necessarily have a formal membership scheme.
- it may form purely for the purpose of having an exhibition
- Members may be professional artists, semi-professional or amateur artists.
