We invite submissions that include Geraniums and Pelargoniums in settings that reflect the experiences of Farming families, Agricultural environments, and Horticultural practices from around the globe.
You may wish to consider showcasing your local centre of 'Floriculture', a remarkable field dedicated to producing plants that yield beautiful flowers and foliage for our enjoyment. This thriving branch of horticulture and agriculture flourishes globally.
Through the years, innovative production techniques have been crafted for countless plant species in the floral industry, deepening our appreciation of plant biology. The artistry of plant breeding and selection has birthed tens of thousands of new varieties, enriching our lives in extraordinary ways. But what of the Geraniaceae Family? How can you depict them in imaginative ways?
Where an artwork is selected, Robin will request additional Artist Information. In advance of this, the artist may wish to include an Artist Statement about the artwork - Maximum 300 words. Your statement on your idea, influence, context, and aims of the work.
This call for artists who have created new work since 2000 began on May 1st, 2025, and currently has no closing date to allow ample time for artists to contemplate new projects and review their archives.
Progress is due for review in four months, and the public promotion of this callout will begin in mid-May and again towards late May, 2025.
