The exhibit is free and open to the public; however, donations (on site or to the Friends of Dreamland's account at GoFundMe.com) are encouraged. More details about the event and historic preservation project can be found on Dreamland Ballroom's Facebook page and website (dreamlandballroom.org). Those attending should use the State Street entrance on the east side of the building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), which does not have an elevator to the third-floor ballroom where the paintings will be displayed. Info and a local map for the venue are provided via a link at the top of this Jazz Near You entry, which can be shared via e-mail as well as social media.
