Botanical Art Exhibitions
by groups and individuals
​in England and Wales

Botanical Art Exhibitions
by Botanical Art Societies, Florilegium Societies, Groups and individual artists
in England and Wales 

​

Botanical Art Exhibitions in England and Wales in 2021 are beginning to start up again
​- but social distancing constraints remain in place for some
​
Find out about botanical art exhibitions in England and Wales via the efforts of botanical art societies, groups and individual artists. 

This covers exhibitions by botanical art GROUPS:
  • national botanical art societies
  • florilegium art societies and groups
  • local botanical art societies
  • ​botanical art schools
and exhibitions by INDIVIDUAL botanical artists at
  • commercial art galleries
  • gardens and other venues​

GROUP SHOWS
​

National Botanical Art Societies
​

Compared to more informal groups, 'proper' Botanical Art Societies typically have:
  • formal organisational status (constitution etc)
  • a membership scheme
  • offer signature status to members meeting specific standards of excellence.
  • a much higher ratio of professional and semi-professional botanical artists
Art society exhibitions may be
  • closed (members only) or
  • open i.e. anybody can enter artwork and the artwork selected will be that which has met the standard required - irrespective of whether it is by members or non-members. ​
The banner image at the top comes from the 2017 Annual Exhibition of the Society of Botanical Artists.

Society of Botanical Artists (SBA)
​

The Society of Botanical Artists is national botanical art society for the UK. It is also the oldest society of botanical artists in the world.​ 
  • This is its exhibitions page
  • ​The annual exhibition resumed in June 2019 at the Mall Galleries 
  • The 2020 and 2021 exhibitions were both online due to the prevailing circumstances.
  • This is the Gallery of Award Winners in 2021

Association of Botanical Artists
​

The Association of British Botanical Artists was formed to organise the Botanical Art Worldwide Exhibition for England and Wales.

It's now known as the Association of Botanical Artists due to its international membership
​

It is currently reconfiguring its purpose and website. Any future notices about exhibitions will be posted here.
Picture
They have Virtual Exhibitions on their website:
  •  ReflectionS (Autumn 2021 Exhibition) will include members submitted artwork in the ABBA Online Gallery
  • selected artwork from the exhibition - focusing on diversity - will also be part of a digital exhibition at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at Kew opening on 16th October 2021

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. 

Oxford Botanic Garden and Harcourt Arboretum Florilegium Group

The University of Oxford Botanic Garden and the Department of Plant Sciences are holding an Oxford Florilegium Exhibition as part of the celebration in 2021 of the Oxford Botanic Garden’s 400 year anniversary celebrations in 2021.
​
  • Exhibition features:
    • the work of 14 artists, 
    • a diverse range of art from throughout the Oxford Florilegium Collection 
  • Venue: The Barn Gallery, St John’s College, Oxford
  • Dates: Monday 22nd November to Saturday 11th December
  • Hours: 12pm - 6pm.

​To date, almost 80 illustrations by members of the Oxford Botanic Garden and Harcourt Arboretum Florilegium Group have been accepted into the Herbarium archive. Following the judging for this year's exhibition more will be added to the growing collection.

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.

You can find details of the local botanical art societies in the UK on this page
​


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.
