Katie Hazard: Art is How We Got Here

Katie Hazard leads Art Management for Burning Man and the
committee that grants more than a million dollars to artists each
year to create art that’s first stop (and sometimes only
stop) is Black Rock City.


She shares about some of the grant recipients that align with
this year’s Black Rock City art theme (ANIMALIA). She and Stuart
Mangrum discuss Burning Man’s art movement in relation to, and
sometimes in opposition to, “capital-A art,” and the default art
world's manufactured scarcity and opaqueness. They explore how to
grant accessibility and agency to artists, professional and
amateur, personally and collectively.


“Many people come for the art, and they stay for the community.”
~Larry Harvey
