Plants: Power to Transform

A Fine Art Multimedia Exhibition

On Sunday, October 4, the Sower Gallery will open Plants: Power to Transform, a juried exhibition celebrating the beauty, diversity, and transformative power of the plant world.

From a single bloom to a flourishing garden, from vibrant fruits and vegetables to sweeping landscapes of forests, fields, and wild places, this exhibition invites artists to explore the many ways plants shape our lives and our world. Whether capturing the quiet elegance of a houseplant, the changing colors of the seasons, or the abundance of nature, artists are encouraged to interpret the theme in their own unique style.

Submissions in all artistic media are welcome. We invite artists to share work that reflects the beauty, resilience, and inspiration found in the natural world.
