Call for Artists: Native Plants and Pollinators

September 5th - October 14th

Open Submissions through August 22nd
Opening reception tentatively September 5th and October 12th (Heritage Day Weekend)

Join us for our 1st Juried show! Apothecary Artists and Gallery invites artists working in all mediums—photography, mixed media, painting, sculpture, and more—to submit original works inspired by the beauty and vitality of native plants and native pollinators.

Whether it’s the delicate petals of a flower, the intricate patterns of leaves, or the stories our local pollinators tell, we want to showcase your unique artistic vision. This exhibition aims to highlight the importance of native plants in our community and continue our collective education.

Who Should Apply?
Artists of all experience levels and disciplines.

Submission Details:

• Original artworks inspired by New England native plants and native pollinators. Artwork with non-native species as the focus will not be accepted (that includes honey bees). To verify your plants tools like Native Plant Trust’s “gobotany” are available. If in doubt, feel free to email us.

• All mediums welcome. Hanging work preferred.

• Works must be ready for display/hanging by the exhibition set up date (tbd)

• Art does not have to be for sale. If it is and it sells, Apothecary takes a commission of 30%
