Don't miss this stunning exhibition of works from an annual juried competition featuring some of Australia’s best botanical artists.
A collaboration between CanAssist, the Botanical Art Society of Australia and Retford Park, featuring an annual juried prize and exhibition of competition entries.
Described as a liaison between the disciplines of art and science, botanical art aims to capture the essence of the plant; its form, texture and growth habits, in a two-dimensional medium such as painting and drawing. The typical range of subjects for the botanical artist include native and exotic flowers and plants, fruits and vegetables.
The competition will be open to the 400+ members of the Botanical Art Society of Australia (BASA) and a selection of entries will be exhibited and for sale within the stunning grounds of Retford Park.
This exhibition supports the fundraising work by CanAssist Southern Highlands, a volunteer-run charity that provides financial help to people in the local area undergoing cancer treatment.
Exhibition entry is free. Tickets for house and garden tours can be purchased separately for those wishing to get a glimpse inside historic Retford Park and its impressive surrounds.
