The Case For Daydreaming
2024 Juried Exhibition

November 23, 2024 – January 4, 2025

Accepting Submissions Until: Tuesday, October 22, 2024

The ACT Art Gallery’s Annual Juried Exhibition is an open call showcase of artworks responding to a specific theme, taking place in November and December each year. The exhibition is an opportunity for emerging Lower Mainland-based artists to show their work in a gallery setting. The call allows for a wide range of mediums including painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, woodworking, and mixed media.

The 2024 Juried Exhibition is The Case for Daydreaming, which brings attention to the positive impacts of allowing our imaginations to roam. Whether processing an idea for a creative project, or brainstorming a better tomorrow, daydreaming is a powerful tool. In a time of a demanding attention economy, using our creative minds for ourselves or with others carries infinite possibilities.

To spark your imagination:

  • What happens when you focus your attention on intricate details?

  • Where does ‘big picture’ thinking lead you to?

  • If you could dream up a better future, what does it look like?

  • Do you have an idea you’ve always wanted to explore?

  • Where does your mind wander to?
