Art at heARTburn 2027

We’re celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary in 2027! The heARTburn event takes place on February 20, 2027. Exhibition dates and details about taking part in the 2027 art program will be shared here as they’re confirmed.

Bring your creativity

heARTburn is a Burning Man community event, shaped by the people who take part. We welcome a wide range of creative voices and ideas, including:

  • Paintings, photography, and mixed-media work.
  • Sculpture and freestanding pieces.
  • Interactive installations and spaces to explore.
  • Film, projection, and other media arts.

Interactivity, curiosity, and connection are encouraged. Whether you have an existing piece or an idea for something new, we’d love to see what our community creates.

heARTburn offers small art grants to help community artists bring their ideas to life. Applications are reviewed by the heARTburn committee.
