Title & Description
Dreams and Nightmares – Call for Artists
This exhibition explores the duality of dreams and nightmares as sources of artistic inspiration. Artists are invited to present work that reflects subconscious experiences, emotional conflict, surreal visions, or raw explorations of the psyche. The exhibition aims to highlight how the imaginative and sometimes unsettling nature of dreams and nightmares can ignite creative processes, producing art that is both reflective and provocative. A curator-led talk and a high-profile opening event further enhance visibility and engagement.
