More like a rite of passage for Nevadians, the Burning Man festival has fuelled a generation of “Burners” who spend each year getting ready for the fun, while the artists, also “Burners” spend their year making art. The works are huge and robust, often made of scrap steel, car parts or as container experiences.
In Reno, the Neon Line project and surrounding area is alive with art. Jeff Jacobs, J Resort’s Chairman and CEO, has filled J Resort with work by Alex Katz, Robert Indiana, Alexander Calder and Robert Motherwell. But he has also brought the street alive with huge digital screens and some very large-scale sculptures all displayed on the street.
