Call for Entry: Those Who Dream by Night New exhibit focuses on abstract and fantasy themes

Framations Art Gallery presents an opportunity for artists to explore the themes of fantasy, dreams, and all things abstract with upcoming exhibit. "Those Who Dream by Night", will be open to artists' interpretation, allowing artists to determine their individual subject matter in any wall hung media. T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, once said, "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." This idea that what we dream while asleep is often much different from what are waking dreams for ourself include eludes to the idea that some dreams are out of our control, and some we also take more seriously than others.

"Those Who Dream by Night" will be a juried exhibit, from walk-in entries due to the gallery March 5 & 6. The juror for this exhibit is Brian Smith, Professor of Visual Art as well as the Visual Art Program Coordinator at St. Charles Community College. His expeience extends to working as an art lecturor and juror. There will be an Awards Reception open to the public on Friday, March 11 from 6-8 pm with awards announced at 7 pm.
