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.

Exhibits forthcoming! For 2020, we plan to mount two exhibits. One depicts the insect and arachnid collection – and associated vegetation, of course – held by the CU Museum of Natural History, and the other will illustrate specimens collected by the first actual scientific expedition to the western High Plains in 1820, led by Major Stephen H. Long. Information will be coming your way on this Blog and via MailChimp. Do plan to attend the February 23, 2020 Member Meeting (Gates Hall, Denver Botanic Gardens) for details and presentations about these upcoming opportunities.

Workshops! Next year, plan to attend an RMSBA workshop: Calligraphy, Sketchbooks, Quill pens (actual!), and Lino prints are in the offing for 2020. More information soon.

Reminder: Lost in the Woods Opening Reception at Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail, Colorado, on January 4, 2020, 1 – 4 pm. Barring major weather events and avalanches, please do come join the party.

Cannabis: A Visual Perspective remains on display at the Center of Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado. Stop by on your way to Grand Canyon for Christmas break…
