Counting sheep to fall asleep … but what happens when the sheep keep jumping once you’re dreaming? 

Welcome to “Dreamscapes,” Tamarack Marketplace’s first gallery exhibition of 2026. This is a journey made for daydreamers, night owls, and full-time sleepers alike. This exhibition invites visitors to drift into the surreal, the strange, and the breathtakingly beautiful worlds that emerge when logic fades and imagination takes over. 

From floating cities and impossible landscapes to scenes that feel suspended between reality and fantasy, Dreamscapes captures the essence of the dream world: limitless, illogical, and deeply personal. These works don’t ask to be explained; they ask to be experienced. Let your mind wander, explore, and linger. We’ll meet you there. 

For many artists, art becomes a form of escape, a way to visit places born entirely from the imagination or to express hopes, wishes, and inner worlds that can’t quite be put into words. All of this comes together in Dreamscapes, where creativity opens doors to realms both surreal and filled with emotion. 

While the exhibition is inspired by dream worlds and surrealism, it also celebrates places that feel otherworldly in a different way: breathtaking landscapes, luminous environments, and beautiful regions that make us pause and think, “Is this real or am I dreaming?” These works blur the line between fantasy and reality, reminding us how magical the world  

around us can feel when seen through an artist’s lens. 

Dreamscapes sets the tone for Tamarack’s 2026 gallery season, inviting curiosity, wonder, and a little bit of escape. Whether you’re drawn to the surreal or simply love art that transports you somewhere new, this exhibition offers a space to slow down, imagine freely, and get lost in the possibilities. 

Sweet dreams! 

“Dreamscapes” is on display from January 10 – March 8. Our Virtual Gallery is coming soon. For those who can’t make it out to see this exhibition in person, remember that purchases can be made over the phone! Reach us at 304-256-6843.
