— DRESS CODE —
There is no dress code, but we encourage you to show us your version of wonderland… could be vintage / casual, formal / tuxedo, or something impressionistic straight out of a Degas painting.

— THE VENUE —
Wonderland Dreams allows for a new way of experiencing a painting — by walking inside of it and becoming part of the art. The art in the exhibit is not confined to static rectangles of canvas hung on the walls, but rather it is the walls, it is the floor, it is every inch of the 26,000 square foot space that has been hand-painted into a multidimensional work of art.

Every inch of Wonderland Dreams is hand-painted using Alexa Meade’s signature painting style which makes the world appear to be a 2D work of art. Travel through time and space as you wander a string of seemingly endless painted rooms that suspend reality and bring out the spirit of wonder and play.
