Imagination - July 13 - Aug. 11- Juried by David Reuss

Dreams, humor, fantasy, creativity are pursuits that keep the human spirit alive. Imagination makes possible our thinking about what is, what has been and what might be. We hope the exhibit will encourage audiences to take some time away from the world as we know it and enjoy the creative power of Imagination!

The exhibiting artists have created artwork that combines personal narrative, pop-culture characters and more to speak about the stories that fill our times and culture. Realism, abstraction, fantasy, science fiction, collage and more reveal humor, absurdity, psychological complexity and sometimes just plain fun. Imagination presents a wide mix of styles, mediums, and subjects. Artists from 8 states AL, CT, MA, MD, MN, NJ, RI and NY (39 Long Island communities) will be exhibiting their creations!
