Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you to the artists who shared their work at Café Island in 2002! The Café and its surrounding areas are full of art, in the form of fantastically costumed visitors, impromptu interactions, anonymous contributions, and planned installations. Through collaboration with the artists or the Art Department, the pieces listed here were gifted to the community as featured works at the Café.
Visit the Burning Man website to learn more about theme art installations in 2002.
