The Dream Flag Project

Dream Flag Exhibition Ideas

Dream flags are on lines to connect--and to travel.
Here are some of the many ways our dreams get shared.

Dream Flags At School
Exhibit your flags in the cafeteria or out of doors--wherever people get together and pause to read. You can have a Dream Flag Celebration to read the poems and appreciate the work. Some schools combine this with another spring school event such as an arts night.

 

Dream Flags At Work
Invite parents to take a line of your Dream Flags to work to display. They will brighten a hallway, lobby or other space and will share the hope. You may also want to approach a large office complex about exhibiting in their lobby space. Include a sign that explains where they came from. Maybe next year you'll be dreaming with even more schools in your area!

 

 

Dream Flags At the Library
Ask your local library if you may exhibit Dream Flags there. They promote reading and brighten the space. Include a sign about your school's Dream Flag involvement.

Dream Flags in the Hospital
One of the best places for Dream Flags is in a hospital where people may be very much in need of hope and diversion. Dream Flags exhibit well in long corridors, and hospitals have them. Be sure to allow the hospital plenty of time to organize the exhibit since they usually have important requirements about sanitation, height, and other display factors.

 

Dream Flags for Shoppers
May local shopping areas or malls are pleased to exhibit student work, and your Dream Flags will be read by hundreds as they shop, helping people to remember what's really important in the middle of an active day.

 

 

 

Dream Flags at the Airport
Airports are full of people who would love to read something hopeful and beautiful. With many connecting hallways and other gathering spaces, they're an ideal place to exhibit your Dream Flags. Get in touch with your airport administration to see about exhibiting Dream Flags for flyers. Be sure to include signage for your school, and get ready to dream with others from far away!
