Come to the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum on Saturday, August 13 from 2 – 4, and see members of the New England Society of Botanical Artists demonstrate their talent as part of the ongoing show, The Art of the Woody Plant, running through September 11. With 150 members, the New England Society of Botanical Artists brings a strong, artistic presence to the Arnold Arboretum this summer. Up to thirty works will be exhibited ranging from watercolor to pastel. The Society has recently shown at the Brush Gallery in Lowell, Massachusetts, participated in the New England Flower Show, and includes many artists within the group who have received prestigious awards from the national organization— the American Society of Botanical Artists, as well as the British counterpart—The Society of Botanical Artists.
