Looking Back For Our Future
Botanical Art Worldwide 2025 is an event initiated and coordinated by the American Society of Botanical Artists. On the 18 of May, Botanical Artists from around the world will come together to celebrate botanical art, and over 30 countries will be participating in this remarkable international exhibition. The United Kingdom’s contribution to this momentous event is the exhibition Looking Back For Our Future, which features a juried selection of artworks by artists from England and Wales.
The theme of the exhibition is crop diversity, and it focuses on and celebrates biodiversity in the crops that have been closely associated with the human species over thousands of years. The theme is designed to draw attention to the vast variety of food and useful plants available, in contrast to the relatively few varieties currently used in mass cultivation.
It is vital to promote this genetic diversity in a world challenged by a growing population, changing climate, and habitat losses.
Special Open Day: Sunday 18 May 10.30am – 4.00pm
