Deviled Angels
(The Crew)
Building monumental art with volunteers means countless hours of shared sweat, blood, tears, and joy.
This multifaceted art project was realized by a team of 25+ volunteers from Texas, West Virginia, California, Washington State, as well as an intrepid volunteer from France. It was funded by personal donations from dozens of individuals across the United States, as well as a 2017 Art Honorarium grant from the Burning Man Arts Foundation.

We gratefully acknowledge dozens of volunteers who assisted our burn lead and FAST to provide a safe and successful burn. We are especially grateful to diverse Texas volunteers from all over, including burners from Camp Houpla and Camp Houphoria, in addition to our art support camp: Hot Mayo. The amazing Camp Sake II Mi provided our perimeter sub-leads, AKA heralded Valkyries.

Enormous thanks to Hot Mayo, the chill bar extravaganza / firepit home / conversation hub at 4 and B, AKA an unforgettable group of Reno friends who gave our project welcome arms and a home away from home during Burning Man 2017.
