Bring Your Art
The Largest Temporary Outdoor Art Gallery in the World
Participants create the most spectacular installations as gifts to the community. Burning Man Project is proud to support artists globally in realizing their visions in Black Rock City and beyond.
All participants are welcome to create art for the playa!

Bring Your Art to Black Rock City
Art Inside the City
Most art at Burning Man is placed on the open playa. But there are a few unique opportunities to place art in a Black Rock City plazas and Center Camp, within the city grid.
Art in City Plazas
Each year, we place art at the center of the nine plazas as places to stop, gather, and as neighborhood landmarks.
Center Camp Art
Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, collage artist, digital dreamer, or creator of something uncategorize-able, we invite you to share your vision here.

Dig into our extensive archive of Black Rock City art.
I learned that bringing art to Burning Man is very democratic but can also be challenging. Many artists I’ve met were not trained artists and were just compelled to bring art as a gift to the playa and their Burner community.
