Hues of Harmony
ART OF NATURE:
Columbus Botanical Garden (CBG) invites emerging and established artists to submit proposals for The Art of Nature: Hues of Harmony (AoN), a temporary indoor exhibition of art inspired by nature. AoN is a collaborative community art experience, combining the efforts of regional artists and thousands of Garden visitors to transform the Garden into a living tapestry of art.
Many people in our current fast-paced world perceive nature as static and unchanging, perhaps even boring. They might take for granted the dynamic and diverse environment we inhabit in the Chattahoochee Valley region, specifically the unique features of the Fall Line – whether urban, suburban or rural. Two guiding themes emerge:
-
The natural world is dynamic and diverse. Artists should explore, highlight, and interpret these characteristics. As an extension, how are these same characteristics reflected in the Columbus area community?
-
We also challenge artists to explore, highlight, and interpret the interdependence between humans and the natural world, with an emphasis on environmental stewardship and our local natural resources.
Exhibition Goals
-
Allow guests to experience new ways of interacting with the natural environment.
-
To showcase and celebrate the creativity of the Columbus cultural arts in our community and surrounding region and expose it to a broader audience.
-
Spark conversations and inspire action regarding environmental conservation and stewardship.
-
To elevate the cultural arts community through collaboration and partnerships.
-
Facilitate innovative and engaging experiences, fostering a sense of wonder and joy of the natural world.
​

Twenty works of art will be selected for the exhibition
