The Institute established the International series in 1964 with the hope of supporting and encouraging contemporary botanical artists. Every three years, the International series attracts talented botanical artists from around the world. The works included in the 10th International proved that in the world of art the infinite variety of plant forms and colors still holds special fascination and offers undiminished challenge and delight.

A full-color, illustrated catalogue with biographical data, portraits of the artists and reproductions of the artworks accompanied the exhibition. Collectively, the ten International series catalogues included 890 artists and were the most comprehensive record available of contemporary botanical artists and illustrators to date.

In conjunction with the opening of the International exhibition, the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) held its annual meeting at Carnegie Mellon University (26–28 October). Hundreds of botanical artists from across the United States were in Pittsburgh to attend. Also Anne-Marie Evans, internationally renowned botanical watercolor painting instructor, taught a course at Chatham College (29 October–2 November) that was sponsored by the Institute and the Chatham College Arboretum and Landscape Studies Program.
