ART INSTALLATIONS
The ARTery, also known as the Burning Man Art Team, works year round, on and off playa, in support of Burning Man art.
The ARTery’s on-playa headquarters are located in Center Camp and function as a check-in center for artists, a hub for information about Burning Man art, and starting point for art tours.
Off playa, the ARTery Team works tirelessly throughout the year, kicking into high gear from February until October, to make sure that artist applications are processed and art-i-facts are catalogued.
Mission Statement
The mission of the ARTery is to serve and defend artistic expression at Burning Man. The ARTery facilitates the placement and display of art on the playa during the Burning Man event.
