Burning Man art is on its way to the Smithsonian
By Jenny Kane, Reno Gazette-Journal
Burning Man art started off as kitschy garage art, but it won’t go down in the annals of history as such.
This week a selection of Burning Man art — from HYBYCOZO to “Maya’s Mind” by Carson City artist Mischell Riley — is on its way to the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” will be at the Smithsonian from March 30 through Jan. 21, 2019, in two phases.
The exhibition features a curated collection by some of the more reputable artists who have created works at the 70,000-person arts celebration held every year in Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
