Berkshire Botanical Garden Begins 2025 Art Exhibition Season with Dreamscapes: Journeys into Nature

Berkshire Botanical Garden will kick off its 2025 Art/Garden exhibitions with “Dreamscapes: Journeys into Nature,” opening Friday, Feb. 7, in the Leonhardt Galleries.

Gallery hours for the exhibition are Tuesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In this juried show featuring artwork by the Guild of Berkshire Artists, each artist was challenged to interpret their concept of what nature means to them. Is it colors, textures or the amazing beauty of life in nature? Does it reflect a reverence for the power nature can unleash or the fragility of every living thing? Is it the complexity as well as the simple beauty of spring tulips, fall leaves and sunsets? Each artist expresses their intent through drawing, painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture, textiles, glass, or ceramics. The results are as bountiful and often as dreamy as nature herself!

The artists are:

Carolyn M. Abrams, Karen J. Andrews, Donna Bernstein, Chelsea Bradway, Karen Carmean, Julian Craker, Keith Davidson, Mary O. Davidson, Anne Ferril, Kathryn Feuerbach, Gail Gelburd, Marion Grant, Nancy K. Harrod, Pat Hogan, Lynne Horvath, Robert Horvath, Caryn King, Christina Koldys, Pattie Lipman, Janet McKinstry, Sarah Morrison, Jaye Alison Moscariello, Rick Neilsen, Jeff Nestel-Patt, Wendy Holmes, Noyes Marilyn Orner, Alvin Joseph Ouellet, Barbara A. Patton, Ronald Piazza, Ingrid Raab, Paula Shalan, and Bruce J. Shickmanter.

The Guild was formed in 2014 to support and promote its members through education, exhibits and community events while contributing to the cultural life of the Berkshires.
