In this limited series limited series (on Sundays in August at 2pm ET) designed by 2025 Poet-in-Residence Traci Brimhall, contemporary poets will guide visitors in a lucid “dream walk” of the Guggenheim, leading participants on a journey not of answers, but of unfolding questions.

Rather than looking to art and poems for wisdom, how can the questions that they inspire be a better lantern in the darkness? Stopping at select artworks chosen by each guiding poet, participants will respond to poetry readings and generative prompts that invite them to ponder, imagine, and open space within themselves. The dream walk becomes a way for visitors to enter their own wonder, deepen curiosity, and step into a dream state where being and making so often happens.

Dream walks will take place on Sundays in August and October, and will be led by poets Traci Brimhall, Nicole Callihan, Tiana Clark, Heid E. Erdrich, Eugenia Leigh, Erika Meitner, Brynn Saito, and Leah Umansky. A schedule can be found below with additional October dates to be announced in July.

$30, $25 members, $19 students. Includes museum admission.
