NEW North Carolina Circle of ASBA!

In addition to having the most diverse plant species per state size in the U.S., North Carolina also has, not surprisingly, a rich tradition of botanical art and illustration.

Many local botanical artists have shown an interest in forming a community to share ideas and grow further as artists. As a result, in August 2016, we’ve formed the North Carolina Circle of the American Society Botanical Artists.

All botanical artists in our state, with any level of expertise or background, are welcome to join our group.

One of our members just shared an article about an amazing show - The Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants on view at the Harvard Museum of Natural History Boston….

Our First Meeting!

Our meeting will be at the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill, on Sept. 19, 2016 from 1-4 pm. 

All botanical artists in North Carolina are welcome, please join us! We will experiment with paper samples, share recent artwork, review an upcoming group exhibit opportunity, learn about the NCBG Botanical Art Calendar, and plan a theme for the next quarterly next meeting.
