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.
