Digital Exhibit - Fall 2026

Woodland settings can provide great inspiration for botanical artists. Join us in creating an online collection that invites viewers to look more closely at the living textures, forms, and stories found beneath the forest canopy.  

In this digital exhibit, we will focus on the rich, intimate world of woodland flora — from  towering trees and moss-covered stones to ferns, fungi, seeds, bark, lichens, and fleeting seasonal details. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly: celebrate scientific observation,  capture the mystery of forest habitats, or reveal the quiet beauty found along a woodland path.  Works in any botanical-art medium are welcome, provided the submitted image accurately represents the original piece. 

The digital exhibit will be available on the NESBA website starting on November 1, 2026. The  deadline for submitting images is October 15, 2026 

This page contains instructions, guidelines and forms for NESBA digital exhibitors. 

NESBA reserves the right to decline any submission, or to remove a selected work, if it does not  conform to the exhibition theme or fails to meet any of these guidelines. By submitting an image  to the digital exhibit, the artist agrees to have the artwork appear on the NESBA website and to  remain there.  

Questions on the Digital Exhibit should be sent to nesbanews@gmail.com.
