POE’S GARDEN…A SECRET REALM
Back for a second year, Poe’s Garden showcases high quality, local art that leads the imagination to pull back a curtain from the darkness and investigate the unsettling and fantastic places our minds can go.
Poe’s Garden is a place where the deliberate, wide-ranging variety of visual art will thrill, astonish, create dread and awaken and provoke the viewer with images, imagined worlds and artistic technique. The accepted work will be the artists’ creation of new, mysterious or secret realms or the exploration of past, present or futuristic realities through a creative yet skewed lens. Art will be judged on its power to sustain mystery, leaving the garden gate open to imagination, wonder and even a little fear.
Andy has earned a number of awards in Summit Artspace juried shows.
