Press release

This invitational group show will feature a group of fine artists from Connecticut selected by Curator and participating artist Clinton Deckert. This exhibition will provide a mysterious visual journey into an imaginary world that lays just Beyond the Gate.

The participating artists are: Jordan Deschene (Web), Silas Finch (Web), Stanwyck Cromwell (Web), Joshua Smith (Web), James DeMaio and Clinton Deckert.

The selection procedure involved choosing a group of artists whose artwork has a unique quality that explores abstract thoughts and dreamlike imagery. These artists have honed their craft into their own signature styles and their combined forces of unusual aesthetics create a must-see show. A reception to meet the artists will be held Sat., Mar. 24 from 6—8 p.m.
