Concept Image

The Dreaming is a new work of public art from the creators of Community Bridge. The Dreaming celebrates the cultural history of Frederick and explores the power of the imagination. Artists and poets will work to transform dreams described by the community into a single, elegant visual statement.

The Dreaming will weave a strong thread of vitality and community engagement into the cultural heart of the city, reclaiming its identity
as a center for arts and craftsmanship. Our hope is that it will expand cultural participation, strengthen arts and business organizations and celebrate Frederick’s identity as the crossroads of culture.
