This summer, you are invited to pause, listen, and imagine what might come next.

Dream Machines is a participatory project led by local artist Drew Arrieta that invites visitors to share one dream for the future. Through a dream hotline and a sculptural pop-up recording booth, participants can leave a dream, hear dreams left by others, and contribute to a growing public archive.

Part listening space, part imagined civic ritual, Dream Machines asks what becomes possible when strangers are invited to speak their futures aloud. Dreams can be practical, intimate, collective, or impossible. However it arrives, it belongs. Additional programming throughout the evening will build on the project’s themes of listening, dreaming, and shared imagination.

When you’re not dreaming, find a spot on the hillside for a night of curated tunes. The night kicks off with a set from DJ Justis Brokenrope, followed by two sets of freely improvised dreamscape music by Dex Wolfe, Anna Dolde, Pat Keen & Dave Power.

Galleries are open late and free on Thursday nights from 5 to 9 pm.
