Civic Arts Projects

The Black Rock Arts Foundation's Civic Arts program continues to generate attention for setting a new, compelling model for public art placement. Through this program, many works originally created for Burning Man, a festival of art-held annually in the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada, find new audiences in new contexts through temporary exhibition in public settings. Projects within the Civic Arts Program build on the values and lessons learned from the  Burning Man community, encouraging artistic expression outside its traditional habitat. BRAF has worked with many artists known and loved by the Burning Man community, and seeks further involvement with communities and other like minded artists and artist groups.
