Burning Man 2011: Creative Expression Continues But Now at Astronomical Cost to Play

Comments Off on Burning Man 2011: Creative Expression Continues But Now at Astronomical Cost to Play

Burning Man is now in its 25th year and attracted more people than ever this year — 50,000 people, who took over Black Rock Desert in Nevada. This annual art event and temporary community sold out this year, a growing in popularity adventure, which has long been based on radical self expression and self-reliance. It was once an underground event that lovers of art and expression used to attend and was a reasonably priced thing to do.

This year sold out, as the event is getting so much commercial buzz, that there were tickets going online for 10x the price, making it ridiciously expensive for the average person to attend. That said, the event, now for the “elite” not the “artist”, it continues to attract incredible energy and the creative results are amazing. Some photos from this year’s late August through Labor Day event below:
