Hypnotic Turtle DreamBox

If you happen to be out for a drive in Broomfield, Colorado, you may want to stop by the Hypnotic Turtle DreamBox Little Galleries to take in some local art. 

First opened in summer 2019, the Hypnotic Turtle DreamBox is a community art project that fosters creativity and imagination by transforming lending libraries into two permanent tiny galleries with revolving exhibits.

The current DreamBox exhibit, "Science Fiction," was crafted by local artist and creator of the DreamBox, Arlo White. His sci-fi-inspired piece combines natural objects, clay, and paint to create an otherworldly landscape. Visitors can view the piece from the sidewalk on foot, or by car and tune in via car radio to hear eerie sounds that accompany the visuals.

“Science Fiction” will be on permanent display along with the DreamBox Little Free Library.

On July 29th, 2022, Hypnotic Turtle opened a second DreamBox Little Gallery featuring rotating exhibits. On display this summer is "Perspectives" by Kristin Aslan. 

  What Do You See?Do You See What I See? Have you ever looked at something and found it to be wonderful, while the person you are with finds it strange? Maybe it’s an image or idea, maybe it’s a pug. In this installation, I explore the idea that we all see the world filtered through our lived experiences and give a playful voice to the idea that maybe, just maybe, we aren’t as open-minded and objective as we think. I use a variety of media and found objects to create layers and textures that celebrate our complex realities in a way that offers simplicity and delight.
