A full-color, illustrated catalogue with biographical data, portraits of the artists and reproductions of the artworks accompanied the exhibition. Collectively, the 14 International series catalogues included 1,129 artists and were the most comprehensive record available of contemporary botanical artists and illustrators to date.

As we have since 1995, we coordinated activities for the 14th International artists and the registrants of the American Society of Botanical Artists educational conference, which is held every three years in Pittsburgh during the opening weekend of the International exhibition. Many botanical artists from across the United States and from around the world were in town to attend.
