CALL FOR ARTISTS: NATIONAL FINE ART EXHIBITION

About the Show

Dangerous Lullabies VIII is an annual group fine art exhibition showcased in the historic (rumored to be haunted) Dole Mansion and, additionally, online. This is this exhibition's 8th year, back by popular demand. 

Artists are invited to submit work that explores the curious allure of things that frighten us. If you have work that is designed to examine the beauty found in the ashes of terror or the magnetic pull of work that is disturbing, on-edge or dark, this is the show for you. All mediums will be accepted for consideration.

Joe + Kathleen Isacson are curators for this exhibition, working in partnership with the Dole Mansion and the Lakeside Legacy Arts Foundation.

Below are pictures from previous Dangerous Lullabies exhibitions. Submission guidelines can be found below.

PLEASE NOTE: This year, we are back at our traditional location, The historic Dole Mansion.
