Berkshire Botanical Garden Presents "Musings on Nature"

Berkshire Botanical Garden's 2024 Art/Garden series opened with “Musings on Nature” from Feb. 9-25, in our Leonhardt Galleries at 5 West Stockbridge Rd., in Stockbridge, Mass.

In this juried show featuring artwork by the Guild of Berkshire Artists, 21 member artists each present about three works that interpret their concept of what nature means to them. The Berkshires, where many members live and work, serve as the Guild’s muse. That includes Berkshire Botanical Garden itself, which hosts the Guild’s plein air group. The Guild’s work covers a wide range of visual media, including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, wood, glass, and mixed media.

“Musings on Nature” is Berkshire Botanical Garden’s first exhibition in its 2024 Art/Garden series. The 2024 exhibitions will spotlight acclaimed regional and national artists united by a shared purpose: to foster community engagement by illuminating the interplay of art and the natural world. Some will captivate through sheer beauty and wonder, while others will prompt fundamental discussions on sustainability and the impact of human activities on the natural world. 

Leonhardt Galleries hours for “Musings on Nature” are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
