Nancy Richter Brzeski Dream Art Awards
Thanks to the generous support of Nancy Richter Brzeski, several thousand dollars in prizes will be awarded for the best Dream Art. Winners will be chosen from among the artists whose work is accepted for the show, unless they specifically ask to have their names withdrawn. For consideration for these awards, in addition to the required documentation for the show, artists’ statements must include the dream or the significant part of the dream that inspired the art. The award winners will be chosen by a special panel; criteria for selection will be originality, integrity, universality, and relevance to dreaming. Winners will be announced at a gallery reception Sunday evening, during the IASD conference.
