One of the pieces that hung on the Gallery of ART in 2016.

The Gallery of ART

Pagan Bunny Burn loves ART. WE have created a space so that 2D and 3D artists can display their canvases, pictures, words, and dimensional creations.

The Gallery of ART is a covered space, with lighting, a structure to hang art from, with a great location in the circle of Awesomeness near the effigy.

This year the Gallery of ART has a theme, Kitten Alien Robot!! Yes you read that correctly. An awesome 5 year old picked the theme for the Gallery of ART. He can't wait to see what you all create, and share his ART with you!!

Admiral Dot poses with the First Place winner the Neon Chill Dome camp. Whoop Whoop!!

ART Competition

Sometimes a little competition is good for the soul. 2016 was the first year Pagan Bunny Burn had an art competition for participants and Theme Camps. The subject was Flags!!!

So many great Flags were created for this competition. We hope all the flags come back and display their awesomeness in the spring breezes.
