Riverside residents have the wonderful opportunity to study a diverse collection of plants without leaving town. A few weeks ago we learned about the UCR Botanic Gardens. If you haven’t visited the Garden yet, here’s incentive to do so. The UC Riverside Botanic Gardens is having its annual Primavera Poster Contest. Local artists are invited to submit photographs and other artwork about the Garden for consideration. Artists can submit original artwork to two categories: 1) Photography and 2) Other Media.

This contest is open to all artists. The Garden’s only stipulation is that the art must be of the UCR Botanic Gardens and be no smaller than 11″ x 14″. First-place winners will have their winning work featured in this year’s Primavera poster.

Primavera is the UCR Botanic Garden’s annual fundraising event featuring food from local restaurants, wine from local wineries, beer from local breweries and art from local artists. First-place winners of the poster contest will each receive four tickets to Primavera in the Gardens. Second place winners will each receive two tickets to the event.

Visit the UCR Botanic Gardens and capture the beauty of Riverside’s hidden garden.

Are you a regular visitor to the Garden? Have you taken a show-stopping photograph of a plant or landscape scene in the Garden?
Do you have a drawing or a painting of a plant in the UCRBG collection of which you are especially proud? Download the entry form and submit your original artwork to the Primavera Poster Contest. Submissions are due March 6, 2015.
