Australia’s leading contemporary botanical art exhibition Botanica returns to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney in April 2018, exploring the complex and remarkable relationship we humans have with plants. The annual showcase, now in its 19th year, features work by some of the best Australian and international established and emerging botanic and natural history artists, Botanica is considered one of the foremost exhibitions of its kind.

The 2018 theme for Botanica is ‘symbiosis’. Artists have been invited to study the symbiotic relationships some plants have with other plants and animals, and incorporate this into their artworks.

Botanica is a beautiful art exhibition and encourages the sale of all its artworks. Proceeds from the sale of original and limited-edition prints go to the artists and to Foundation and Friends of the Botanic Gardens, helping the not-for-profit organisation to continue to support horticulture, conservation, scientific research and education programs within your Botanic Gardens.
