“Nature Galleries have teamed up with the Inverness Botanical Gardens and are looking for artists to display 2D artworks in the Cafe Botanics space. This is a great opportunity for artists wanting to expand their exposure out of their current area and exhibit in a busy café with high footfall. The cafe is open daily from 9.30am - 4 pm. The exhibition will run from Monday 1st July – Saturday 31st August 2024.

​

The theme will be ‘Rewilding’ and centred around environmental awareness and conservation of Scotland’s native Flora. Artists are encouraged to challenge their use of concept, material and medium to fit the title of the exhibition. “
