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.

the Burning Man website to learn more about theme art installations in
2002. |
