Dreams, hauntings, nutcrackers, playthings and exquisite miniatures are the theme of this unique exhibition.

Hosted at the Tyler Arboretum in their Historic Barn

Swirling gossamer fabrics made of cobwebs glitter in the moonlight as the fairies dance under dew-dropped foliage. The moths and fireflies come out to play, and the alluring sounds of pan-pipes are heard in the groves now glittering with the dust of Titania’s court. Left, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by Erik Koeppel. Below, photos from the exhibition night!
