Due to the extensive damage at Garfield Park Conservatory from a recent hail storm, Form in Flora II will take place in the Lincoln Park Conservatory only this year.

Form in Flora II is a sculpture show open to all International Sculpture Center members within 100 miles of Chicago.  All work must be related to Nature in some way. Sculptures will be placed within the plant collection in the show-house and on the immediate grounds of the Lincoln Park Conservatory.  Time based, conceptual and environmental works are welcome, but no digging is allowed. The work may be individual sculptures or groupings. This is not a decorative art show of “garden art”.
