This summer, Berkshire Botanical Garden has become a sanctuary for art lovers with DayDream, a captivating exhibition showcasing works by celebrated contemporary and modern artists. Running through Aug. 11 in the Leonhardt Galleries, the show invites visitors to step out of the ordinary and into the limitless realm of imagination. As part of the exhibition’s summer programming, curator James Salomon will host a special evening of conversation and exploration. Salomon will be joined by a selection of featured artists — John Gordon Gauld, Peter D. Gerakaris, Ann Getsinger, Cate Pasquarelli, Anastasia Traina, and Cynthia Wick — for an engaging gallery talk that delves into the ideas and inspiration behind their work. They may even read passages from the exhibition catalogue, where every participating artist contributes their personal daydreaming stories and insights.  Following the indoor program, sculptor Mark Mennin will lead a guided walk through the Garden’s outdoor sculpture installation, Sleepwalkers, offering insights into the large-scale works nestled among the blooms. The evening will conclude with a wine and cheese reception.
