School of Botanical Art & Illustration: We're Back!

We Are Back!

This summer, our esteemed colleague Mervi Hjelmroos-Koski retired from her position as manager of the School of Botanical Art and Illustration. Mervi skillfully led the program for 13 years, developing it into the world-renowned certificate program it is today. 

Jessica Glombick and Carina Banuelos-Harrison joined the Gardens as the program's manager and coordinator, respectively. With their help, the School of Botanical Art and Illustration has launched a new e-newsletter you can subscribe to and a new Facebook Page to share the latest scoop on courses, fresh faces and fun art activities, including ways to share your artwork.

40 Years and Growing

That’s right! The School of Botanical Art and Illustration is celebrating its 40th year. In honor of this milestone, Denver Botanic Gardens has produced a beautiful video to share thoughts from instructors and students. 

Community Partnerships

The School of Botanical Art and Illustration welcomes partnerships with community organizations. With support from the NEA, we have been working with artists from Access Gallery to create botanically inspired photos they can use in a future exhibition.
