OPEN CALL for Artists! 100 Artists/ 100 Dreams
La Leona Arts presents 100 Artists/ 100 Dreams...A dream exploration project featuring 100 national and international artists. 100 Artists/ 100 Dreams explores the concept of artists as visionaries and keepers of the creative fires. The project consists of a film, an exhibit, and an art installation. Visual Artists, Performers and Musicians discuss one of three dream types: recurring dreams, prophetic dreams or dreams that have impacted them creatively.
100 Artists/ 100 Dreams - The Film features visuals, audio and text by 100 contemporary artists. Narrated in parts in the languages of the international participating artists, the film crosses multi-cultural and multi-dimensional barriers. The Film will debut during Ione's 16th Annual Dream Festival in October 2011.
The Dream Festival is a celebration of dreams and dreamers curated by Kingston based author and dream facilitator Ione. Ione, artistic director of Deep Listening Institute, describes the festival as a communty event that includes artwork and performances by world-class artists, everyday dreamers and inspired beings throughout Kingston, the Hudson Valley, Capitol Region, NYC and beyond. www.deeplistening.org.

To purchase a catalog contact Sadee(at)LaLeonaArts.com. Each catalog features a foreword by Ione and 18 full colored prints of Brathwaite's art. Here is an excerpt: These paintings are diagrammatic trance maps; and as such one can follow a line, be caught up by an unexpected moment of color, slip along a delicate trace of under-painting or linger at the tip of an enigmatic symbol and unwittingly find oneself in another dimension. - Ione.
