Calling All Artists & Theme Camps for Dragon Burn 2025!
Dragon Burn is back and feeling aroused. We’re looking for passionate creators to bring their visions to life! Whether you’re a have-a-go artist with a stunning installation in mind or a theme camp organizer looking for an amazing crew, this is your chance to be part of something magical.
Artists: Bring Your Vision to Life!
Welcoming all forms of creative expression—sculptures, interactive installations, fire art, performances, and more! Dragon Burn is built on gifting and participation, and we want your art to be a part of everyone’s shared experience. This is your chance to create something unforgettable.
Theme Camps: Build a Home for Radical Inclusion
Theme camps are the heart of Dragon Burn, offering experiences, music, workshops, and communal vibes. Whether your camp is a chill lounge, a high-energy dance space, or something completely unique, we invite you to bring your vision to life and welcome new members who share your passion.
Meet, Collaborate and have fun at Dragon Burn’s Art Collective Event!
To help artists and theme camps find the resources and crew they need, we’re hosting a special meet-up event where you can connect with builders, volunteers, and fellow dreamers. This is a perfect opportunity to share your ideas, recruit collaborators, and get the support you need.
Submit Your Project to Get a Place!
It’s necessary to fill out a form below to submit your art or theme camp idea. This is so you can be positioned on the map, so we can help you make it happen, and to check your project is appropriate and safe (safety third!). Selected projects will be featured at our Art & Camp Connection Event, where you can showcase your vision and meet people who want to get involved.

About Art Projects
***You do not need to be an amazing artist to create an art project- all you need is an imagination, an idea, and a drive to make an amazing experience for someone else!***
There is no elaborate art procedure this year and there are no arts grants anymore. Artists can consider their project their gift to the Burn. With this philosophy, everything is possible!
Your art project must be self-funded, so aim for efficiency and aim to use free, reused and second-hand materials.

A good project
》fits the principles and Burn ethic
》is ambitious but realistic
》 is cheap!
How can you be sustainable and turn trash to treasure? How can you make something out of what you already have?
》is practical & durable
Make sure it can survive people using/interacting with it, weather, and the truck
》has good ‘buildiness’
It should be taken apart to transport, the truck has limited space and be easily put back together on site.
》is interactive
It should make people interact with other people or themselves. How to make people connect? To share? To discuss? To think deeply about their personal journey? To grow?
Here are the Ten Principles that we hope your project will be inspired by!
