2023 Arts in the Garden Artist Call for Entry
Arts in the Garden is a 3-day juried outdoor art show featuring 3-D garden art in a wide variety of mediums. The 2023 event will take place at the Bellevue Botanical Garden on Friday, August 25; Saturday, August 26; and Sunday, August 27. Participating artists must be present all three days.
Art is displayed throughout the Bellevue Botanical Garden in natural settings just as buyers would experience the art in their own gardens. This unique approach showcases the art at its best and allows artists to forgo tents and display grids. This is the 12th year the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society has hosted Arts in the Garden. Typical attendance is over 8,000 guests.
