Cutting-edge, independent puppet filmmakers artistically display the puppets and sets featured in the Handmade Puppet Dreams film series.  The gallery exhibition features a selection of puppetry art that moves the viewer beyond the camera's eye, giving an up-close and personal look into each detail.

This exhibition is about the art of the process in creating an independent puppet film.  It's intriguing to showcase the crafted sculpture and see the puppet in the flesh. -Heather Henson
