If you have an event you would like to host at Constellation, whether it’s at a specific time or ongoing throughout the weekend, please submit the details through our Event Submission form. 

If you’re running a Tea House or Saloon out of your Theme Camp, looking to organize a kickball game or scavenger hunt, or want to stage roaming Shakespearean readings right after the Burn, let us know the details, and we’ll get the information printed in the Hitchhiker’s Guide so people will know what’s up and where to find you!

ART PLACEMENT APPLICATIONS


 

Do you have an existing art project that you’d like to bring to Constellation? If the answer is yes, and you’d like to have your art placed by our City Planning team, please fill out the Art Placement form! 

The Art Placement form is for art projects NOT seeking an Art Grant. Art Grant applicants will be contacted by City Planning as part of the Art Grant process. 

A request for Art Placement in advance of the event is not required, but it helps our City Planning team ensure you get optimal placement for your project!.
