"Nighttime has long since been a time of flourishing creation for artists, poets and musicians. When the moon is high in the sky and the rest of the world rests, the mind of the artist awakens, and magic ensues. Wether burning the midnight oil or lucidly dreaming, there is a powerful connection between the conscious and non-conscious mind that crystalizes under the stars. In the dark we focus our attention and awareness and begin to see what is concealed by the light of the day. 'Nocturne' exhibits a collection of paintings and sculptures that are inspired by and evocative of the night. showcases a selection of artists from southern California and abroad, each compelled by the late night air to delve into their imaginations and pay homage to nocturnal creativity."-Yelley
