We Are From Dust - Supporting Working Artists
The global COVID-19 pandemic has strained all of us, but particularly hard hit are the working artists who don't enjoy the privilege of a financial safety net when the bottom drops out. We Are From Dust is committed to supporting working artists through exhibition of, and fair payment for their work.
Your donation will go directly to We Are From Dust's exhibiting artists whose works are on display at Point San Pablo Harbor in Richmond, CA. Funds raised beyond our goal will also allow us to build capacity to install our next set of five exhibitions — supporting yet more artists — when the world is once again ready to connect around participatory art. Thank you!
We Are From Dust is made up of Burners and non-Burners dedicated to transforming people’s lives through participatory art. In the spirit of inclusion, collaboration and communal effort, all are welcome to join us in this effort. Together, we have amassed over 130 years working in various capacities for the Burning Man Project, and our experience has benefitted the development of art projects around the world.
WAFD's inaugural exhibition at Point San Pablo Harbor has been a great success, featuring artworks from professional working artists Kate Raudenbush (Future’s Past), Michael Christian (Asterpod), Paige Tashner (Purr Pods), and Peter Hazel (Niloticus).

Risks & Challenges
We Are From Dust is fundraising to support the exhibiting artists at our Point San Pablo Harbor art park, as well as extending our vision to showcase the transformational power of participatory art in public spaces. We are dependent on clients, partners, and collaborators to make this mission a reality, and we believe the risk when artists cannot support themselves is self-evident.
