This upcoming April, CityArts Orlando will join magical, literary, and artistic forces to celebrate the whimsical imagery created by Lewis Carroll in his stories, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
Choose your favorite verse, image, passage, or feeling that Alice in Wonderland invokes in you and create a piece of art.
Beloved by all ages, Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll inspired generations to delve into imaginary worlds and pursue their dreams. A little girl following a rabbit down a hole, meeting the Cheshire Cat, and having a tea party with the Mad Hatter became the most recognizable motif in literature. It provoked incredibly rich art from authors and creatives, including visual artists who immortalized the story in prints and drawings.
Take Alice to the next level. Think about her in the world today.
A cloudless, golden afternoon on the river above Oxford. Alice picks a jar of marmalade from a cupboard as she is falling down the rabbit hole. She begins to cry giant-sized tears in the dark hall of doors, and notices a vial on a high shelf that says, ‘Drink Me.’

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is also considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. The works of Edgar Allan Poe did not become popular successes until after the troubled author’s mysterious death, but his penchant for evoking bizarre and gothic imagery was not lost upon illustrators. Poe's exploration of all aspects of the human psyche has appealed to modern artists through the present day, including those associated with the Symbolist movement, German Expressionism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.
CityArts wants to see your visual interpretation of Edgar Allen Poe. We are looking for inspiration from a story, quote, or passage from one of his literary works. Works considered for this exhibition can also depict Edgar Allan Poe.
