DayDream Curator and Artist Talk

When: 
Saturday, July 26, 2025
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

This summer, Berkshire Botanical Garden has become a sanctuary for art lovers with “DayDream,” a captivating exhibition showcasing works by celebrated contemporary and modern artists. Running through Aug. 11 in the Leonhardt Galleries, the show invites visitors to step out of the ordinary and into the limitless realm of imagination.

As part of the exhibition’s summer programming, curator James Salomon will host a special evening of conversation and exploration on Saturday, July 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. Salomon will be joined by a selection of featured artists — John Gordon Gauld, Peter D. Gerakaris, Ann Getsinger, Cate Pasquarelli, Anastasia Traina, and Cynthia Wick — for an engaging gallery talk that delves into the ideas and inspiration behind their work. They may even read passages from the exhibition catalogue, where every participating artist contributes their personal daydreaming stories and insights. 

Following the indoor program, sculptor Mark Mennin will lead a guided walk through the Garden’s outdoor sculpture installation, "Sleepwalkers," offering insights into the large-scale works nestled among the blooms. The evening will conclude with a wine and cheese reception.

Tickets are $25 for BBG members and $40 for non-members. Attendees may register online and have the option to purchase the exhibition catalogue, which artists will be available to sign.
