{========INTRODUCTION==========}
{==============================}
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
Art is everywhere at Burning Man ... in every theme camp, every street, every
nook and cranny of the expansive open playa -- from Center Camp to the Man to
the deepest point of the City's perimeter -- you'll find art. In fact,
everyBODY at Burning Man IS art, including YOU (see Halcyon's sage advice on
this point: http://bit.ly/1cUXPqh).
That's part of what makes our city so special: everywhere you go, you're
neck-deep in of one of the most fantastic (and fantastical) art experiences
ever conceived. And the best part? A lot of it involves FIRE. In fact, there's
going to be over 100 open fire pieces this year (counting burbling fires,
blasting poofers and gigantic conflagrations) ... and that's a LOT, people.
Also, there will be 24 CORE projects surrounding the Man, each created by
representatives from different Burning Man Regional Groups (more info:
http://www.burningman.com/installations/art_core.html, that will ALL BURN
SIMULTANEOUSLY AT 9PM ON THURSDAY NIGHT. Hoo boy!
At final count, there are 372 pre-registered art pieces, the largest number
ever ... and there will undoubtedly be more to come during the event. There are
some amazing pieces coming to the playa this year, and if you want to bring
your own artwork, it's not too late ... read on to learn more about how to go
about it. EVERYBODY'S art is welcome at Burning Man, including YOURS.
The Man burns in 12 days! (Holy moly!) We can't wait to see you all on playa!

WHAT'S THE ARTERY?
The ARTery is the on-playa headquarters for Burning Man's art department. To
learn about all that they do (and don't do), see:

WANT TO BRING YOUR ART TO THE PLAYA THIS YEAR?
If you haven't registered your art yet, and you want to bring it to the playa,
you still can! Download and fill out the art registration PDF and bring it with
you to the Artery, found on the Esplanade & 6:30. Here's the PDF:

ART TOURS
The ARTery offers a variety of art tours. Pick one that's right for you:
Guided Art Tours
For those in need (e.g. you can't get around to the artwork yourself on foot or
by bike), there are art tours that depart on a bus daily from "Everywhere
Pavilion", right next to First Camp on the Esplanade. These limited seats are
first come, first served, and first preference given to those in need. Tours
are Tuesday - Friday at 11 a.m. Tickets are handed out the day before (Monday
for Tuesday's tour, Tuesday for Wednesday's tour, etc.) at noon at Everywhere
Pavilion. Check in at the ARTery for additional details and tour availability.
Self-Guided Paper Tours
The ARTery also provides written tours you can pick up at the ARTery and create
your own tour! Lead a tour with your friends ... take 'em around in a pack of
bikes, or do a tour with your Mutant Vehicle.
Bike Tours
Tuesday-Friday, twice a day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., weather permitting. Meet in
front of the ARTery and ride your bikes as volunteers from the ARTery provide
information on curated art pieces, as well as the Temple and The Man.
Audio Art Tours
The ARTery's Jim Tierney (aka Anarchist Cowboy) has once again produced an
awesome audio art tour together with Evonne Heyning, featuring great
behind-the-scenes information about many of the Honorarium art installations.
You can find the MP3s, which you can download to your computer, smartphone or
iPod to bring with you. Here's Mosbaugh's write-up about the tours on the
Burning Blog:

DON'T LOCK YOUR BIKE TO THE ART
This may sound stupid, but (well) every year people lock their bikes to art
installations ... as if they were giant bike racks. Which they're not.
Sometimes this results in a) the lock being cut before the piece is burned, or
b) the bike being burned with the piece. Neither is cool. Avoid this situation
by ... guess what? ... not locking your bike to the artwork. Done and done.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
RESPECT FOR THE ART: IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, BUT....
We hope you'll help us with this one. We have few out-and-out RULES in BRC, but
there's one very serious thing that really must be called a rule: Unless you
made it, don't vandalize artwork.
Yeah, we know "it's Burning Man, man ... don't harsh my mellow ... it's my
creative expression, man!" Yeah, no. Messing with somebody else's art isn't
cool ... unless of course they expressly imply that their piece is meant to be
messed with, written on, etc.
Having created art, this Rabbit is here to tell ya: it blows when somebody else
vandalizes your work. So please, help keep an eye on the artwork and treat it
with respect, and if you see someone tagging, vandalizing, manhandling or
climbing something fragile or unsound, or heaven forbid, stealing a piece of
art, do your part and talk to them, or contact a Ranger if you're not equipped
to deal with it yourself. There's plenty of room on the playa for eveyrone's
art and expression without us having to do it all over each others' work.

AMAZING BURNING MAN PHOTO GALLERY FROM TREY RATCLIFF
We put this in the last JRS, but it's absolutely worth repeating. Trey Ratcliff
has one of the more jaw-dropping galleries of Burning Man photography we've
ever seen. If this doesn't get your heart pumping in anticipation of the playa,
you might want to check to see if you have a pulse at all:
