The Adam Lister Gallery: It's All a Dream
Thursdays 6:00 - 9:00pm; Fridays & Saturdays 12:00 - 9:00pm; Sundays 12:00 - 5:00pm
This group exhibition aims to explore and challenge notions about the human perceptions of reality. We sleep for nearly one third of our life, and every night we dream. This other world helps us to define our existence, bringing to light fears, wishes, anxieties, goals and meanings. Dismissed by some as mere accidents of the imagination, or regarded as mysterious messages from another place, these visual symbols that our mind creates can heighten our awareness and provide a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Opening Reception for It's All a Dream
9/10 Friday, 7:00 - 10:00pm
