Curatorial statement:
Dreamscapes Unveiled is an evocative journey into the realm of dreams, where the boundaries of reality dissolve, and the subconscious takes center stage. Artworks by FAC studio artists explore the multifaceted aspects of the dreamworld, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysterious and enigmatic landscapes of the mind. Dreams are the canvas upon which our imagination paints the most vivid, surreal, and sometimes unsettling visions. As we sleep, our inner worlds come alive, transcending the constraints of time and space. This exhibition serves as a gateway to these ethereal realms, as each artist invites us to peer into their unique dreamscape. This exhibit is on display from December through February at the FAC Hurwitz Gallery, located at 1 N Market Street. Gallery Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11am-4pm, and 11am-7pm on First Saturdays of each month. The opening reception will be held Saturday, December 2 between 11am-7pm.
