The IASD 2026 Dream Art Exhibition once again offered a vibrant showcase of artistic expression during the 2026 Conference in Ashland, Oregon. Established in 1988 by artist, author, and dream researcher Fariba Bogzaran, who served as a guest juror this year, the exhibition featured paintings, drawings, mixed media, digital art, photography, and video installations.

2026 award recipients: Hazal Orhon, First Place; Denise Kester, Second Place; Scott Venners, Third Place. Honorable Mentions: Devin Good, Cindy Bishop, Aurora May. People’s Choice Award, a tie: Lisa Rigge and Lori Wells.

The exhibition remains a collaborative effort supported by dedicated volunteers and committee members. This year, the IASD community offered special recognition to Roberto Gongloff for his many years of service to the IASD Arts Committee. His dedication, vision, and generosity have contributed significantly to the exhibition’s continued success and enduring place within IASD.

Another milestone was the launch of the new Dream Art website, featuring current and past exhibitions, artist interviews, and exhibition information:

Watch for this year's award-winning Artist Interviews, published on the 1st of each month. 

Beginning next year, an online exhibition will accompany the in-person event, expanding opportunities for dream artists worldwide while preserving the annual conference experience.
