NOTE: No information is available at the moment as to whether this Residency continues post pandemic

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
The SBAI at Denver Botanic Gardens has had a number of botanical artists participate in their Residency Programme including:
  • 2015: Ikumi Kayama (USA) and Benjamin Cardenas Valderrama (Colombia) 
  • 2016: Lauren Bassing (USA) and John Pastoriza-Piñol
  • 2017: Katherine Rudebusch (USA) and Isik Guner 
  • 2018: Asuka Hishiki 

SCOPE OF THE RESIDENCY

Botanical illustrators are included within this program to work with the School of Botanical Art & Illustration alongside the Gardens Research & Conservation team in particular. ​

[IN THE PAST] The scope of this residency features two key elements:
  1. Creation of a body of work supporting the mission of Denver Botanic Gardens, particularly focused on plants native to Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. 
  2. Leading one 3-day workshop for 12 students in the Gardens’ School of Botanical Art and Illustration. This workshop will focus on a technique or media that the resident specializes in, subject to the approval of the Gardens. Dates of the workshop will be determined based on the residency timeframe. PLUS interaction with visitors is optional though highly encouraged, promoting public understanding and appreciation of the natural world and offering an opportunity for visitors to see the Gardens through the eyes of an artist. 

FUNDING AND RESOURCES
The resident must provide their own art supplies and equipment, as well as their own travel,
transportation, accommodation and related living expenses. However the Gardens offer:
  • a stipend is paid up front to offset costs of travel and transportation, art supplies, and living expenses.
  • The Gardens offers space to work inside or outdoors en plein air and access to the Gardens’ collections, including pressed plants, preserved fungi, and other preserved herbaria collections, living plant collections, rare books, archival materials, art collections, and books and periodicals in the Garden’s library.

ELIGIBILITY

The residency is open to
  • all illustrators who have completed a certificate program in scientific illustration, botanical art or illustration, nature illustration or equivalent qualification or experience. 
  • Artists working in all media
  • International applicants who are proficient in English are encouraged, although additional tax documentation may be required.

Artist in Residence | Royal College of Physicians (discontinued)
​

Although this "artist in residence" scheme is no longer running, it does provide a useful model for others wishing to develop a similar proposal.

The Royal College of Physicians in London has had a garden of medicinal plants since 1965. You can view the plant database
Between 2010 and 2015 it offered a one year residency for an artist. This involved an exhibition of the artwork produced at the end of the year.
EXAMPLE: The artists who have become artist in residence are:
  • 2010-2011 Mayumi Hashi 
  • 2011-2012: Gillian Barlow
  • 2012-2013: Patrice Moor - and had an exhibition Life and Death in the Garden. (subsequently in 2014-15 she was the Artist in Residence at the Botanic Gardens, Oxford University)
  • 2014-2015: Nina Krauzewicz.

Since 2015, the RCP also had a group of artists who worked to produce a Florilegium Exhibition for the RCO's 500th anniversary - see my blog post about the Illustrated College Herbal Exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians

TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS
​

Winston Churchill Memorial Trust
​

Learn More
Botanical artists have successfully applied for travel scholarships to paint plants in different parts of the world.  

The Trust will NOT fund:
  • projects which only benefit the individual and show no potential for wider benefit
  • applications for art projects that will result in only an exhibition, and have no benefits beyond raising the profile and expertise of the individual 

EXAMPLE: Caroline Frances-King was awarded a travelling fellowship to travel to China to paint plants discovered by the Irish plant collector Augustine Henry in the late 1800’s.
