Community members got a chance to share their dreams and help create art during at Anythink Huron Street on Saturday.

is a collaborative, multi-sensory art project done by Colorado artist Helen Hiebert and will hang from the ceiling of the Kay W. Riddle Program Room at Anythink Huron Street, 9417 Huron in Thornton.

The art piece will feature a large dandelion sculpture made of 300 handcrafted paper seeds, representing the wishes of the Anythink Hurn Street community and around the world. The piece also includes a motion-activated audio component by local sound artist Jim Green.

“ project symbolizes private wishes that come together as a whole in a metaphor for human connectedness,” Hiebert said. “The sculpture will find a great home at Anythink, whose approach to community aligns well with the theme of the project.”

Hiebert has been collecting wishes from around the world on her website for a while now. They will be included in the art project along with the local wishes.

“It will be a greatway to highlight how we have similar hopes and dreams — no matter if you live here in Thornton or halfway across the globe,” said Stacie Ledden, communications director for Anythink.

At the workshop, attendees got to create their own wish-inspired art project, a dandelion pop-up card, to take home. Staff with Anythink also gathered written wishes and video wishes during the event — which will be shared on Anythink’s social media.

The sculpture will be permanently installed at the end of April and is in honor of Kay Riddle, former president of the Rangeview Library District Board of Trustees who retired in 2013.

The sound installation will be incorporated by mid-May. Green also did the sounds for the interactive trees in the children’s area at Anythink Huron, Ledden said.

“The sound will give voice to the many collected wishes and will add whimsy and interactivity to the installation (the sound will be triggered when someone enters the room),” she said. “We believe this will complement the other sound elements we have with the trees at that library.”

Officials are planning to host a reception for the art piece at the end of May.

The Wish is part of Anythink’s “This is Who We Are,” a collaborative public art series between the artists and community members to create art that represents a particular library’s location.

The first public art project was done in December 2011 at Anythink Bennett — a community-inspired quilt that shows life on the Eastern plains.

Ledden said that there are no plans yet for the next “This Is Who We Are” project.

It’s our goal to ensure the project fits the personality of the community and the aesthetic of the library,” she said. “All of our Anythink libraries are so unique; we want the collaborative public art projects to reflect that as well.”
