Michael Garlington, Artist Talk and Portrait Shoot

The Anatomy of Wonder: Michael Garlington Photo Sculptures

Artist Talk and Portrait Shoot: Saturday, April 18, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM


Join renowned Burning Man photographer Michael Garlington for an evening featuring an artist talk and portrait session.

The event begins with Garlington sharing insights into his work - his inspirations, creative process, and years documenting the culture and characters of Burning Man. Expect an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how his distinctive images come together.

Following the talk, guests will have the opportunity to take part in a portrait session. Come dressed in something expressive - playa wear, costume, or anything that represents you, and be photographed in Garlington’s signature style.

Space is limited.
