The First Annual International Juried
Online Symbolist Art Show
August 28, 2002 "The Dreamer and the Dreamed"
The first annual International Juried Online Symbolist Art Show invites artists and art students from around the world to participate in this event and celebrate symbolist art. The purpose of this first-of-a-kind event is threefold:
- To promote symbolist art and its importance of leading the viewer's imagination into the unseen world of thoughts, hopes, and fears. Symbols in art are a catalyst to personal revelation.
- To provide artists from all backgrounds a convenient and meaningful online presence. Finalists and winners will be showcased through to May 1, 2003, the date of the next show.
- To help art students gain exposure and bring together a diverse array of inspirational perspectives.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, symbolist art seeks special symbols to express the essence of things by suggestion. It engages the viewer by appealing to the heart, personality and unconscious mind, as well as the intellect.
How is it dreams can heal us, frighten us, spark creative inspiration or carry us to other realms? "The Dreamer and the Dreamed" encourages artists to explore how dreams influence their lives.
