See the results of experimental techniques pushing horticultural limits to achieve radical designs in our 2023 special exhibition, Avant-garden.

View eleven works from daring artists who have evolved their bonsai practice through experimentation, innovation, and a willingness to take risks. See bonsai trees like never before: in non-traditional vessels using repurposed materials; in different planting orientations; and bonsai that explore subject matter other than the traditional “nature and our relationship to it” theme.
