COVEN, Black Burner Project, and We Are From Dust collaborate to put together a powerful panel on Healing Through Art, Diversity and Empowerment at Burning Man and Beyond, facilitated by the incredible Candace Locklear.

COVEN soft-launched at our Art Beyond the Living Room Salon, hosted by Adriana & Aaron Vermut, with talks by Erin Douglas, Greg Holmes, and Peyton Scott Russell moving our community to tears and laughter.

Everyone who was everyone in the Bay Area arts and culture scene turned up to celebrate the amazing force that Dorka is—with dragon dancing, wine, and DJ sets. We’re lucky to have her on our AIR Selection Committee!

In a fireside chat with no fire, Erin Douglas shares with Jen her journey of Black Burner Project, from photojournalist to monumental artist, as part of Robot Heart Residency and The Other 51 Weeks speaker series at The Loom in Oakland.

Over 300 turned out to enjoy the talks and a showcase of 16 female and LGBTQIA+ artists in the Bay Are during peak Burning Man art build season. The Pulse was on fire from Flaming Lotus Girls and there was even a chicken at the bar.

It wasn’t enough to build a 7-story liveable tower and support 2 art projects at Burning Man this year, we had to also strike in 3 days…and unload, clean, load, and clean some more. We donned red noses and pink shirts, ate well, and played well!

Rob Fyfe, Yaella Frankyl, and Daryl Henline dream about the future with the COVEN team (and Alita’s dog Chloe) in the newly renovated and quirkily decorated clubhouse at at Point San Pablo Harbor on a crisp autumn day.

The COVEN team spent a beautiful morning trekking and golf-carting around the 583-acre Djerassi Ranch, not getting to even half of the 40 sculptures on-site! We brainstormed with trustees, staff, and artists about a future collab.
