COLORFUL DREAMER
People who have dreams and ideals are innovators and often manage to change the world. Presumably, this is because one cannot fulfill a dream on their own; one needs to communicate to the world. By presenting artworks that highlight a wide array of individual dreams, it is our wish to create an opportunity where we can remind ourselves the meaning of the dream in an age that is often criticized for the absence of true dreams and dreamers.
