In Event Activities

Dramatic uplighting lit up the Renwick, and pedicabs ferried guests to the exhibit's outdoor Burning Man sculptures in the surrounding neighborhood.

Fire dancers performed in front of the Renwick as guests entered.

Guests gathered in Renwick's Grand Salon, which is outfitted with sculptor David Best's "Temple" installation with intricate wooden carvings (every year Best builds a similar temple in the dessert at Burning Man). Design Cuisine set up stations in the space including a D.I.Y. macaroni and cheese station and a poutine station. A few of Best's leftover Temple pieces decorated the Grand Salon's bar.

Guests explored Burning Man's playa via a VR experience with goggles and headphones.

In the Grand Salon, one of many D.I.Y. stations included a "Champagne Creation Bar" where guests could snip fresh herbs to garnish their bubbly or pour in lavender simple syrup or other add-ins.

In one of Design Cuisine's creative catering stations, an umbrella became a soft pretzel dispenser.

Churro wheels, cinnamon-glazed pretzels, and candied bacon hung suspended from the Gravity Dessert Art Bar.

Design Cuisine creating mobile dining stations, like this attendant with a "sushi skirt" who roamed through the crowd.

Guests took in mind-bending art like the undulating neon origami mushrooms in FoldHaus’s Shrumen Lumen piece.

The duo of artists known as Hybycozo: the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone created steel sculptures that made intricate patterns on the Renwick's walls.

The exhibit includes Marco Cochrane’s towering Truth Is Beauty statue.

The second room features a fog machine that emits pink bubbles, which burst into mist when popped.
