Art, Camps & Things

Everything you need to know to Participate with Art, Camps & other Things

At its core, Apogaea is an art festival – celebrating the uniquely human ability to create an environment that evokes an emotional response from others in the community and encourages them to participate in the experience.

Art starts with how you decorate your body with the costumes you choose to wear and escalates to include art created from any medium including performance art, sound art, workshops, and how your decorate your camp or vehicle. Even the gifts you give are art – an expression from your soul given to another.

Art is most fully expressed when others interact with it, which is why one of the 10 Principles is Participation. We strongly encourage all event participants to embrace this and share yourself with the community. It’s what makes Apogaea different, and, we feel, more special, than the typical festival.

Some art requires pre-registration with Apogaea to ensure that we can accommodate your space, location, and activity requirements. If you don’t pre-register and your art can’t be safely installed and used, Apogaea reserves the right to remove it. See the below links for more comprehensive definitions, but generally, pre-registration is required for:

Theme Camps
Sound that requires a generator
Art Installations over 8′x 8′x 8′
Fire-Related Art and BURN BARRELS
Fire Performers with a scheduled performance time (all others can register at the event)
Anyone wanting to hold an event in Center Camp
Anyone who wants their event to be listed in the WhoWhatWhereWhen
Art Cars/Mutant Vehicles

The deadline for pre-registration is midnight on April 30th.

We know that creative genius needs financial support so we also have an art grant program to help fund your art. By applying for a grant, you automatically pre-register your project.

Apogaea reserves the right to remove projects from the event site at their discretion.
