BRC Art Preview with Katie Hazard

Explore the magic monuments of Black Rock City 2025.

Katie Hazard, Director of Art, leads the selection, placement, and installation of artwork, and she leads Burning Man's art grant selection committees.

The ARTery is in the center of Black Rock City, slightly offset like the human heart. It’s the epicenter of art support for nearly 400 art pieces, from towering sculptures to immersive environments.

Before these art projects are sourced, crafted, and assembled with everything from hot glue to heavy equipment, they are first conceptualized by artists and engineers. Burning Man’s Honoraria project grants 76 of these art projects about half of the funding they need, a total of $1.3 million.

Katie and Stuart explore how to foster accessibility and agency in artist groups. They describe some of the installations coming this summer, from interactive Sphinxes to a sphere of sinks, from a lost troll of sustainability to a fire-spinning pigeon.

Some of the experiences include:

an inflatable black cloud from Ukraine
an Indigenous deer destined for ceremonial land
an Afrofuturist pillar with an ancient modern secret
a screaming booth that displays visual reactions to sound
a woman with a merry-go-round crown, jump rope dreadlocks, and swing earrings

Listen in on this sonic journey of how Burner art is co-created and curated, and how BRC’s surreal skyline is taking shape.
