Art Ignite: A Female Artist Showcase & Party at The Box Shop

Experience an electrifying night where we shine the spotlight on many fierce and fabulous female artists of The Box Shop and the Bay Area. Dive into a world where sculpture and industrial arts come alive in the most spectacular way. Several large-scale, monumental sculptures will light up the night alongside a stunning array of other installations and visual art—some finished, others in the midst of creation before their premiere at Burning Man 2024. Featured Installation: Pulse by The Flaming Lotus Girls Feel your heart race as you experience "Pulse" by the Flaming Lotus Girls. Standing at 12 feet tall, this anatomically correct heart responds in sync with your own heartbeat. Pulse will be accompanied by its brand new additions, built this spring. This isn't just art; it's a heartbeat you can see and feel! Meet the Makers Get up close and personal with the artists behind the masterpieces. Ask your questions and get inspired as artists talk about their work! 15 artists will be showcasing and speaking Groove to Beats & Drinks Dance the night away to the beats of our amazing DJs, and enjoy donation-based libations and concoctions.
