Every year for one week, bold, super-sized works of art spring to life in one of the harshest yet most starkly beautiful settings imaginable… the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. With hundreds of original works, performances, and theme camps spanning five square miles, and more than 60,000 attendees, Burning Man has become North America’s largest outdoor art festival. At the core of the Burning Man art aesthetic is participation and interactivity. Many pieces involve community volunteers who put in hundreds of hours on elaborate large-scale works that are meant to be touched — and often torched. The vast majority of the monumental metal sculptures are made in the Bay Area, the place where Burning Man got its start in 1986.
