DayDreams
art exhibition
​exhibition april 16 - june 4
at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd
1100 Stockton Street - Jacksonville, FL 32204
awards presented online
A daydream is your mind slipping into a gentle, inward story while you’re still awake — a kind of soft-focus mental drift where imagination takes the wheel for a moment.​
It’s a show about belonging, place, and the small but meaningful scenes that define home: parks, storefronts, bridges, gardens, morning rituals, neighborhood.  ​
Daydreams are often the first spark of imagery, symbolism, or narrative. They’re the subconscious handing you a sketch — loose, emotional, unfiltered. Many artists treat daydreams as the earliest drafts of inspiration.
