ARTISTS IN DREAMLAND
Third annual juried national dream art show
CALENDAR
|
Exhibit hours: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11 to 3 p.m.
The purpose of this exhibit is to showcase artwork that expresses the dreams that we all have in the night, and how our dreams and dream life inform and inspire the creative process and the creation of art. This is a unique opportunity for our visitors to walk through a visual dream diary of the exhibiting artists.
Eligibility: Original artwork inspired by dreams or series of dreams in the
night. Both the art pieces and the dream that inspired the creation of the
art are juried. The most important criterion is how the art piece is connected
to a dream or series of dreams, to fit into the theme of the exhibit. Dream
artwork that have been exhibited in the dream art show 2008 or Artists in Dreamland
2009 will not be accepted.
Media: All two-dimensional and three-dimensional media will be considered, including painting, drawing, collage, mosaic, metal, glass, fabric, ceramic, sculpture and mixed media. Film, video, and digital art will be considered if provision for displaying these media is provided or can be located by art exhibit staff. All works accepted must be suitably framed and/or ready for display. Works on paper must be framed under glass or plexiglass. No crafts, kits, reproductions, or production please.
