24 paintings by 23 artists, chosen by Dimitra Milan, Elli Milan and Jock Armour from more than 300 artists who entered.

The Show

See moonlight the way each artist sees it.

Moonlight Mirage asked artists for paintings that feel immersive, luminous, and hard to walk past: a garden at midnight, a gilded ballroom, a face behind a mask. Moonlight has pulled painters to the easel since Whistler's nocturnes and Van Gogh's starred sky, because some kinds of beauty only show themselves at night.

Dimitra Milan and Elli Milan judged the show alongside gallery director Jock Armour. More than 300 artists entered, and the jury chose 24 paintings by 23 artists for the wall, plus 18 more for the online exhibition.

For two weeks the chosen paintings hang together at 80 S Palm Ave, and every piece is for sale.
