The Friends of the ANBG's Botanic Art Group will hold its 16^th annual exhibition and sale at the Visitor Centre Gallery, with the theme ‘High Country Natives’.

Most of the works will be on sale, with a proportion of the proceeds donated to the Friends of the ANBG to support the Gardens. Several works will be chosen to be donated by the Friends to the Gardens' permanent collection. As in previous years, there will also be a work to be won by the lucky winner of a raffle.

This year’s exhibition theme of ‘High Country Natives’ has inspired a variety of approaches to composition including landscapes of habitat of native flora in unique alpine regions, as well as traditional compositions of native plants from alpine and other areas.
