Dreamtime Festival

Dreamtime Art Installation Registration

Please read below before submitting an application.

The next deadline for submitting an art installation application is . After that, you may still be able to offer a installation, but it may not be included in the printed program guide. The sooner we have them, the better!

Thanks for offering to bring an art installation to Dreamtime!

Some things to consider:

  • There is a limited amount of open flat space available. If your project requires a large area of open and/or flat space, register early for the best chance at placement.
  • This is a Leave No Trace event and there is a possibility of high winds, lightning, and/or rainstorms. You must design your project so that it will not drip, "shed", blow apart, or short out (electrical) when exposed to wind or rain.
  • Your project may be assigned to an area that has no natural anchors for guy lines. If your project must be tied down against wind, assume you must use rebar stakes (with safety caps).
  • The ground can be very hard in some spots and very soft in others, and your project may not be located on perfectly smooth flat land.
  • Visitors may interact with your project in ways you did not intend. Dangerous areas or sensitive equipment not intended for public access/tampering should be physically blocked or guarded at all times.
  • We reserve the right to remove projects from the event site. If you think you will be making controversial statements with your piece, include this information with your proposal. Controversy alone is not grounds to deny placement but we do want the opportunity to find the optimum location for such work.
  • Art projects involving spark-producing flame will not be allowed at Dreamtime. Propane fire may be allowed as an element of your installation, provided that all safety requirements are fulfilled. These requirements are as follows: Your installation must be kept under constant supervision while the fire is on. The propane supply tank and the structure containing flame must be secured against accidental tipping. A working regulator with appropriate pressure rating must be installed on the propane supply line. Flammable materials must be cleared from the surrounding area such that, should your project tip over or flare up, the flame will not come in to contact with any combustible materials. You must secure an inspection by our fire inspector prior to operation of your project.

In addition to completing this form, you may also send sketches of the proposed installation via snail mall. The address is:
