Botanical Art Group
The Botanical Art Group formed in 2003 for members of the Friends with a special interest in botanical art, drawing and painting.
The aim of the Group is to foster the role of, and promote botanical artists and illustrators and provide a forum for those wishing to pursue this exacting art form.
-
There are about 15-25 regular artist members with a wide variety of skills, from beginners to semi-professionals.
-
The Group meet weekly on Saturdays, 12-4pm, in the Lecture Room, Goodman Building, on Hackney Road, Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
-
There are no formal classes on a weekly basis, but members share ideas, discuss projects, offer constructive advice and paint or draw in their chosen medium. Each brings their own drawing/painting equipment and something to draw.
-
A small fee is charged when attending the weekly group, Workshops are fee paying.
Members hold exhibitions biennially.
-
The next exhibition is 2023
Attend Saturdays regularly or occasionally, or just for workshops.
