NatSCA2020 and Covid-19
Due to the rapidly evolving situation relating to Covid-19, the NatSCA trustees have taken the decision to postpone our annual conference and AGM which was planned for 14th-15th May 2020.
We hope to schedule an alternative date once the situation has become more stable and we will keep speakers and members informed of progress.
This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, and we apologise to all those affected. We hope that our speakers will be available at a later date.
Sunday, June 7, 2020 - 09:00 to Monday, June 15, 2020 - 17:30
Cambridge, London and Edinburgh
The Fitzwilliam Museum invites applications from early- to mid-career curators of botanical works of art on paper to participate in a series of workshops and collections visits in Cambridge, London and Edinburgh.
The workshops will centre on the Fitzwilliam Museum’s outstanding collection of around 2,000 botanical drawings, watercolours and prints, dating from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. These include superb examples by the most renowned and influential practitioners of the genre, mainly European, as well as artists of the Chinese, Japanese and Indian schools.
