Neverville by Night: Entering the World of Frank Forrestall

In Neverville at Night, visitors find their own stories in the art of surrealist painter Frank Forrestall. Drawing from a deck of 22 figures designed by Forrestall, guests are invited to interpret the figure that chooses them according to their own experience and imaginations. These stories, dreams, and explorations will be chronicled by author Deanna Foster, building an archive of collective meaning and symbology for these new denizens of Neverville. The map of this shared subconscious world will grow as the evening progresses, revealing a world no one imagination could plan.

Guests keep a print of the figure they draw, signed by Forrestall.

Forrestall’s surrealist paintings will also be exhibited during this event.
