Morean Arts Center Opening

Day Dreams, an exhibit by SARTQ Artist Collective, opened at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg FL on January 16.

The exhibition runs through March 26 and includes an artists' talk on Thursday, March 12, 6-7pm.

Here's a bit more about the exhibit:

The Morean and SARTQ Artist Collective are excited to present Day Dreams, a captivating group exhibition that delves into the enigmatic and surreal world of dreams. This exhibition transports viewers to the subconscious, inviting them to explore the complexities, contradictions, and hidden meanings that reside within our dreams. Through a diverse range of artistic mediums—from painting and sculpture to mixed media, photography, and installation—Day Dreams aims to evoke an immersive and thought-provoking experience where reality and imagination intertwine.

Drawing on the collective’s rich talent, Day Dreams presents an array of interpretations of dreamscapes, fantastical worlds, and subconscious narratives, each work offering a unique insight into the surreal realm of the human psyche. As viewers engage with the pieces, they will be prompted to question the boundaries of perception, memory, and reality, making the exhibition an exploration of both personal and universal truths.

SARTQ Artist Collective, Sarasota’s local popular artist collective whose name underscores their connection to the region, was founded and formed in early 2008 by local artists Tim Jaeger and Joseph Arnegger. The collective quickly expanded and gained the attention of many local enthusiasts. SARTQ aims to maintain a network of accomplished Sarasota artists, manage exhibitions and events, and collaborate with the community.
