Description

At a time when wildfires are running rampant, The Bay Area's premier industrial arts education facility, The Crucible, is heating it up for our 8th Annual Fire Arts Festival -- one of our major fundraising events of the year. But it's fire in a good way -- a spectacular open-air exhibition with nearly four acres of fire sculpture and interactive art, amazing fire and dance performances, great music, food and libations. This annual celebration of creativity showcases the largest collection of fire and light sculptures in the West Coast, like the gigantic sculptures by Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito, and the fabulous Steampunk Tree House, making its Bay Area debut.
