Hidden Worlds

Great art, as with great literature, offers an escape. Neverland. Narnia. Wonderland. Somewhere over the rainbow, in a place between dreaming and awake, the wondrous awaits. But such journeys are not to be taken lightly. To venture into these sacred realms, one must step beyond the mundane, in a conscious rejection of reality. Here, fantasy reigns supreme.

For the ninth installment of the annual Enchanted Brush Exhibition, the University of Findlay’s Lea Gallery is proud to play host to a selection of the world’s finest fantasy artists.  Together, they have conjured the most curious collection of otherworldly artworks that one could hope to encounter. We invite you to explore these whimsical walls as you venture forth into Hidden Worlds.

As you embark on this surreal voyage, you may notice that a number of our artworks are available for purchase. Should you be interested in providing a Forever Home for one of the pieces, 100% of the proceeds will be directed to the artist that brought it into existence. Information about each artwork and its creator can be found alongside the art.
