ABOUT DREAMSCAPE GALLERY
Exhibition: Mar. 11 - 27, 2025
Reception: Mar. 20 @ 7PM 

“Dreamscapes” is a student exhibition curated, coordinated, and installed by members of VASS (Visual Arts Student Society). The show will run from March 11 – 27, with a reception on Thursday, March 20 at 7 PM. The reception is free and open to the public, and everyone is welcome. During the event, students will speak briefly about the show, and VASS will hold a bake sale to raise funds for future student activities. This show will also coincide with the Ignite: Sparking Interest in Student Scholarship poster presentations in the Vera Bracken Library on March 26, 2025.

The exhibition includes drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and more. As with all VASS shows, the students took charge of all aspects of this exhibition from conception to installation. In January, VASS came up with the title/theme and put out an open call for artworks dealing with dreams, surrealism, magical realism, or fantasy. Students were invited to submit up to three artworks for inclusion in the exhibition, depending on available space. In March, members of VASS worked together to install the artworks in the gallery, considering the overall layout of the space, positioning of moveable walls, flow of visitors through the space, and visual relationships between works in the show. They controlled the lighting to best highlight each piece and created labels with relevant information. All of this hands-on professional experience highlights student learning in the Art and Design Program, and prepares them for future work in field.

Hope to see you at the show! The gallery is open to the public Mon-Fri 8:30AM - 4:00PM.
