Downtown Sarasota campus
The Orchid Show at Selby Gardens’ Downtown Sarasota campus is a much-anticipated annual event. This year’s show will feature a creative collaboration between the team at Selby Gardens and artist Christian Sampson, known for creating playful installations of color, light, and form using glass, acrylic, and dichroic film. A selection of Christian’s site-specific works will be exhibited in the Richard and Ellen Sandor Museum of Botany & the Arts. A number of these works draw inspiration from Selby Gardens’ outstanding orchid collection, which is the finest scientifically documented collection of its type in the world. Additional works by Christian will be sited in the gardens and in the Display Conservatory, where they will enrich a stunning display of living orchids and other epiphytes, or air plants.
