I've been thinking for some time that it's about time somebody started running art fairs for those interested in artwork involving plants. Not necessarily an art fair which is strictly botanical - because a wider range of quality artwork about plants brings in more people - and that, in turn, enables more potential art collectors to see and appreciate botanical art. It would seem The Garden Museum in Lambeth had the same idea..... Super Nature is London’s first fair for art inspired by plants Dates: Saturday 10th - Sunday 11th October 2020 Hours: 10:30 am - 5:00 pm). Tickets: £5 online and £7.50 at the door. I'm also guessing there will be a limit on numbers so 'first come, first served"? It includes artwork being exhibited by 25 participating artists and three workshops. for more details see below UPDATE: I understand from Sarah Jane Humphrey that she is not now participating and I've written to the Garden Museum seeking clarification re events and artists. UPDATE 2: The page on their website has now been updated and the ONLY artists participating in this art fair are:
Artists I didn't see a Call for Entries so I'm guessing that the participating artists may have been invited as there are a limited number and a fairly eclectic mix (including established still life artists) - but all sound artists using a variety of media and approaches to portrait plants. I also noticed that there were some names I recognised - from the Society of Botanical Artists - and another artist who has work included in my book! The artists are listed below.

This review of the exhibition - which includes images of the paintings and some of the artists - should have been written a very long time ago. The reason why this hasn't happened is explained at the end. I've written two previous posts about Tradescant's Orchard Exhibition at the Garden Museum exhibition which are:
Below are photos of the exhibition - and of some of the artists with their paintings at the Private View - held on the evening of 13th June 2017 - organised as follows
