One of the most visited sections of the ArtPlantae website was the “Classes Near You” section where I listed classes and travel experiences related to botany, botanical art, and natural history art. When I turned my attention to my current project in 2018, this section featured learning opportunities in eleven countries and 34 U.S. states. I loved highlighting these opportunities and the artists and educators who led them.

Last week, I launched a resource similar to the “Classes Near You” section. This time, this resource is a Calendar of Opportunity for anyone leading conversations and experiences strengthening environmental awareness. This includes YOU and the way you facilitate connections between people and plants.
There are no costs involved in adding your workshop to the new calendar. The calendar lives on the Lu.ma platform. You will need a Luma account (this is also free). You retain control of your listing and your audience. To have your event appear on the new calendar, all you need to do is select the TALATERRA calendar when creating your event. By doing so, your event will populate the calendar automatically and appear alongside events created by other independent professionals and organizations too. After the date and time of your event pass, your listing is removed from the calendar automatically. Here are clear step-by-step directions and a couple of helpful images.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me here. Please mention the ArtPlantae website in your message. I look forward to learning about your classes and the conversations you are leading.

The Elmhurst Artists’ Guild in Elmhurst, IL is hosting the First Annual Art Crawl at the Elmhurst Art Museum on August 27, 2016. Proceeds benefit the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild Scholarship Fund. Funds will be used to award scholarships to two high school students.

The Art Crawl is a self-guided walking & trolleying tour of Elmhurst’s museum campus and business sector. Visitors participate by walking and trolleying around town and exploring each venue. An interactive map will be posted on the Guild’s website so visitors can view the locations of participating artists and vendors. The Elmhurst Artists’ Guild (EAG) is excited to have the York Theatre, an Elmhurst landmark, kick off this inaugural event with a special morning screening of “ET the Extra-Terrestrial”; all proceeds will go to the EAG Scholarship Fund.

The EAG invites artists and vendors to set up booths to sell and show their products. Artist’s fees for a space is $75.00, with $50.00 going to the EAG Scholarship Fund and $25.00 going to the Elmhurst Art Museum. The fee for vendors is $150.00, with $125.00 going to the EAG Scholarship Fund and $25.00 going to the Elmhurst Art Museum.
