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.

Remember March is the Snowiest Month…

Mo’Prints please. March 2022 brings the biennial Month of Prints in the Denver arts community. As readers of the Denver Post may have noted, the February 20, 2022 Lifestyle section published a very nice preview of the show, with a recommendation to fans that original prints are a lovely way to spiff up the family art collection without selling the firstborn.

Mo’Print is dedicated to promoting hand-pulled prints (etchings, linocuts, woodcuts, lithography, silkscreens) every other year. Over 50 galleries are hosting printmaking exhibitions in 2022. You can check out demonstrations at the Denver Art Museum (“Print Jam”), shop a Print Portfolio sale of 50 artists at Denver Botanic Gardens, score at a $10 print sale at Trve Brewery, 227 Broadway in Denver. See www.moprint.org for the entire schedule, locations, times, etc.

Maybe your new technique will appear and printmaking will carry you away. Here is a link to register for one of the three sessions of the Open Portfolio at Denver Botanic Gardens; you don’t have to pay admission.
