The A. Eric Arctander Gallery
The Putnam Arts Council invites artists to submit work for Dreamscapes and Fantasies: Surreal, Imaginative, Whimsical, an exhibition celebrating the boundless possibilities of imagination.
Artists are encouraged to venture beyond reality and into the extraordinary, creating works inspired by dreams, fantasy, whimsy, and the surreal. Whether playful or profound, mysterious or magical, the exhibition seeks artwork that transforms the familiar into the unexpected and invites viewers to experience worlds shaped by imagination rather than logic.
The exhibition is open to artists 18 years of age and older, who may submit up to two original works that have not previously been exhibited at the Putnam Arts Council. Submission of artwork does not guarantee acceptance into the exhibition. Juror of Awards is Michael Summers, art advisor and sales specialist at Chroma Fine Art Gallery in Katonah. ALL details regarding the exhibition (size restrictions, entry fees, pick-up dates, and more) can be found in our updated Exhibition Prospectus.
Drop-off dates: Saturday, Sept. 5 and Sunday Sept. 6, 2-5pm
Opening reception: Saturday, September 12, 2-5pm
AWARDS: Artists will compete for the Jeanne Demotses Excellence in Arts Awards, including Best in Show ($150), Second Place ($100), Third Place ($75), and Honorable Mentions at the discretion of the juror. Awards will be presented at the opening reception.
Dive into the world of art this fall in our climate-controlled studios. Reserve your spot in our hands-on classes (clay arts, drawing, painting & more) to unlock relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of accomplishment.
