From the curator, Dawn Saunders Dahl:
“I have always been fascinated with story telling and pop culture. Many stories have been altered and have fallen further away from the original. My intent is to curate a contemporary art exhibit that features new artwork inspired by original folklore/fairytales/stories. My specific interest is with Canadian Folklore and Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, but other artworks/stories would be accepted. I am looking for 10–15 Artists to participate in a group exhibition.”
