Mission Statement of the Rocky Mountain Society of Botanical Artists.

Through our affiliation as artists, we believe we can create public awareness of and appreciation for botanical art, historical and contemporary, in our community. The RMSBA seeks to educate the public on plant diversity, regional plant ecology, and the rationale for preservation of plant species through botanical art that is relevant to the region. The RMSBA seeks to introduce the public to the beauty and usefulness of historical and contemporary botanical art through exhibition and other forms of educational opportunities. Recognizing that botanical artists frequently work alone in a discipline that is demanding and technically difficult, the RMSBA seeks to provide a forum for artists to meet, talk, discuss the issues, and have fun within a peer group.
