The Institute established the International Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration series in 1964 with the hope of supporting and encouraging contemporary botanical artists from around the world. Collectively, the International series catalogues are the most comprehensive record available of contemporary botanical artists and illustrators with individuals represented now totaling 1,255. Completing our transition from print, information from the printed catalogues has been incorporated and updated into the Catalogue of the International Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration database. Including full-color reproductions of the artworks and portraits of and biographical data for the artists, the database is searchable by artist name, artwork title (including taxon, medium, support and year of completion), country of residence and exhibition number and year. With the addition of the 17th International artists, the database is now the most comprehensive and concise record available of contemporary botanical artists and illustrators. To aid in updating the database, we ask that previous International artists send us their updated contact information, biographical information or résumés and portraits via the form on our International series exhibition page.
As we have since 1995, we coordinate activities for the 17th International artists and the registrants of the American Society of Botanical Artists Annual Conference (17–19 October), which is held in Pittsburgh during the International exhibition. Many botanical artists from across the United States and from around the world are in town to attend.
