Mission Statement

The Rocky Mountain Society of Botanical Artists is an open and diverse group of artists, collectors and admirers who share a love for the practice and perpetuation of botanical art and illustration with a fond focus on plants in the Rocky Mountain Region.
We encourage and participate in educational outreach, juried and non-juried exhibits, lectures, workshops and regular chapter meetings. The RMSBA is proud to be the very first chapter affiliation of the international organization, the American Society of Botanical Artists.

Independence Day is coming up on Thursday. You’ll need sunscreen, PeptoAbysmal, DEET, a hat, shades, probably some bandaids, wetwipes, and good digestion. That’s just during the daytime.

Enjoy our national birthday party. Take an aspirin before going to bed.
