European Cultural Academy organises an artistic workshop. Join our creative tribe and let's make art together. We welcome artists, curators, architects, designers and anyone who wants to contribute.
And here is a twist: once your project is created we have a crazy idea to bring to the Burning Man 2021.

We have found a perfect crazy person to help us with this project!

For 2005 - 2018, Andrew was honoured with the title "Design Steward of the Man" and has led the design of the Man Base, the highly stylised base on which the man stands.

You can see his work in the image above.

Come yourself, invite people that you know and like. We will do the same.
RESULTS OF COLLECTIVE WORKSHOP 2020
Two art collectives created these pieces from scratch. Burning Man was postponed in 2020. But we found an alternative - the pieces are showed in a public sculpture garden in Venice!
FAQ
No, it is radical acceptance. Usually our workshops have both established and emerging artists and curious minds.
No, you do not have to. ECA team will take the piece, do the setup and documentation. You will work on the piece together with us (and get all the credentials).
We are rather optimistic about the event in 2021. However, we have exhibiting options in case Burning Man is postponed again. We will show the work at the virtual event organized by the Burning man team or at Giardini della Marinaressa in Venice, right in front of the Venice Biennale entrance.
On-the-go format allows you to connect at your convenience. Live sessions are recorded. You get a life-time access to all the recordings.
The workshop is for anyone who has ideas and an artistic vision but does not have time or the possibility to craft them into great projects. The aim is to refine your artistic vision, make art work that resonates with others and give you possibility to share it with the others (in this case - the Burning Man visitors + Internet)
Sincerely, we are not sure we can afford it either :) We have the commitment, expertise and desire to make it happen. We have two art projects already made and on their way to the Playa.
So we feel you but as it is not our usual course but a collective art project, there is little we can do. Contact us anyway, we are always open to discuss and see what can be done.
