Dream of Man with Top Hat

The drawing above is inspired by one of the dreams I received during Artbeat for Dream Harvester.

Dream Harvester at Artbeat!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Dream Harvester at Artbeat in Somerville.  The festival was a huge success and my box of dreams is overflowing.  Here are a couple of photos of the day.

 This young man spent over an hour on his dream drawing.

Welcome to Dream Harvester!

You are invited to participate in an art community project, "Dream Harvester" hosted by artist Ariel Freiberg. This blog is an open forum for accounts of dreams from slumber or wished aspiration.  

"Dream Harvester" and Ariel will be live and dreaming at Somerville's art festival Artbeat, July 16th in Davis Square. For more information, please visit http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/programs/artbeat/index.html

Once Ariel harvests the dreams of the visitors of Artbeat, she will create visual representations of the collective accounts. These works will be shared on this blog and exhibited in the Boston area (location yet to be determined). 

Art can draw on the unconscious collective ideas of our time.  Ariel would like to investigate this further, by expanding her usual private process of working in the studio by harvesting a collection of her communities’ dreams.  Through the visual translation of these accounts, she hopes to highlight the connective tissues of thought through our global village. 

The visualization of ideas is one way to make distant dreams tangible. All are welcomed to begin sharing in the "Dream Harvester."
