The Art of Dreams – All Media Juried Exhibit at Lawrence Street Gallery
Every night, the mind wanders somewhere the waking world can’t follow. Lawrence Street Gallery invites artists to explore “The Art of Dreams” — an all-media juried exhibit inspired by the vivid, strange, and deeply personal landscape of dreaming. Whether it’s the logic-defying imagery of a dream itself, the feeling of half-remembered fragments, the pull of a recurring vision, or the ambitions and hopes we call dreams in waking life, this call is open to wherever the theme takes you. We welcome submissions from artists at all skill levels and experiences, working in any medium.
We’re looking for interpretation, not illustration — bring us your version of what “dreams” means to you.
Lawrence Street Gallery started in 1987. Run by artists, we pride ourselves on being a place where area artists showcase their work. Located at 22620 Woodward Ave., Ferndale, MI 48220, we have monthly solo shows, group shows, competitions for our featured exhibits, and accompanying member work that changes every month.
Your $35 entrance fee entitles you to consideration for entry to this show. If accepted, the pieces in the exhibit will also be available on the gallery’s website for viewing and purchasing! The pieces will be juried for inclusion by a panel of gallery member artists.
