This past Friday, it was amazing to see you all at the Renwick for the Leave It All Behind, the final after hours celebration of the No Spectators: The Art Of Burning Man exhibition. Yes, the art is beautiful, but you all made it even more beautiful.
We have the AMAZING photo recap by the BYT photo team: Franz Mahr, Clarissa Villondo, Nicholas Karlin, Albert Ting, Jeff Martin
