Botanical Art – “Orchids, Orchids, Orchids …”
One of the highlights of the World Orchid Conference 2026 in Dresden will be the Botanical Art exhibition titled “Orchids, Orchids, Orchids …”, presented in the Erlweinsaal at MESSE DRESDEN.
We are delighted that the Verein für Botanische Kunst Deutschland e.V. (VBKD), has taken on the organization and execution of this event. Our sincere thanks go to Audrey Reilly (Chair) and Sue Hénon (First Vice Chair and curator of the exhibition).
​
A total of 50 exclusive orchid-themed artworks will be showcased, created specifically for this occasion by VBKD members and other renowned artists from seven different countries. In addition, visitors will have the unique opportunity to watch one of these artists work live each day — a truly special experience.
​
As part of the conference program, Esmée Winkel (NL) and Audrey Reilly (Chair of the VBKD) will also introduce participants to the fascinating world of botanical art.
The exhibition is enriched by a diverse array of artistic expressions that beautifully interpret the theme of orchids:
From artful stamps and exquisite porcelain pieces to vibrant paintings, delicate origami, and captivating sculptures, these varied forms of artistic expression offer registrants an exclusive glimpse into the stunning collections curated by passionate orchid enthusiasts.
This segment of the exhibition is partially publicly accessible and can be visited fully by registrants of the World Orchid Conference.
