Daydreamers and Other Nightmares – Reimagining Myths and Legends for a Collective Future, curated by Brad Silk

Exhibition Dates: July 11, 2025 – August 27, 2025

Greenville Center for Creative Arts, Community Gallery, Greenville, SC

 

Local artists of Upstate South Carolina are invited to submit works that explore the connection between mythology, nostalgia, and contemporary identity. We are looking for artists who reimagine and reference masterworks, art history, and mythologies. Participating artists will explore how contemporary creators use collective stories to reflect and reinterpret the challenges of our time, from political unrest to climate change and global crises. This is not simply a nostalgic gaze into the past, but an intentional use of myth and nostalgia to process trauma and imagine a hopeful future.
