The Exhibition
The jury is reading entries now and announces the selected artists on Friday, September 25. The chosen paintings appear on this page as soon as they're announced, and every one of them is for sale from opening night, in the room and online.
Artists: entries close Tuesday, September 22 at 11:59pm ET. Read the call for art.
The Show
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 are judging alongside gallery director Jock Armour. They read every entry and choose twenty to thirty paintings for the wall, with a second group of runner-ups in the online exhibition.
For two weeks the chosen paintings hang together at 80 S Palm Ave, and every piece is for sale.
