EXHIBITIONS AT HSNY

As a cultural institution, HSNY encourages a public appreciation and understanding of fine art, garden design, and landscape design in the realm of horticulture. Our Exhibitions feature the works of great and rising living artists who are inspired by botanics, landscape, and horticulture. This is a unique exhibitions program dedicated to showing painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and other works specifically created around the ideas and tenets of horticulture.

The gallery is open free of charge to the general public and without cost to the artists. HSNY presents six to eight exhibits annually, including the annual juried show for the American Society of Botanical Artists. In addition, children in our Apple Seed classes have exhibited their artwork at the Gallery. The students visit the GreenBranches library gardens on field trips and paint, draw, photograph, or sculpt them during the different seasons. HSNY also offers art classes to students in our GreenHouse program, and hopes to exhibit their work in our Gallery soon.
