About Us Membership Gallery Calendar Potpourri

   The Botanical Art Society of the National Capital Region (BASNCR) is an incorporated nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting public interest in botanical art. We sponsor activities to educate and share with the public the artistic beauty and historical background of botanical art, the science of botany and scientific illustration of flora and fauna, and an appreciation for preserving indigenous plant species. Our aim is to increase public awareness of the aesthetics and usefulness of historical and contemporary botanical art through exhibitions and other educational opportunities. We encourage our members to pursue excellence in botanical art, and we conduct meetings and educational field trips to share ideas and information and to provide a forum for members to discuss issues of common interest.
