@elaterite Ooh, I love the idea that Burning Man Art now lives in Reno as public art. This is good.

@msjen Indeed, there's lots of Burning Man pieces around town. :)

@elaterite Is there a map or site of the art pieces? Next time I drive up to Carson City for Trader Joe's and Sprouts, would love to take a few hours to tour the art.

@msjen Not that I'm aware. A lot of it is on W 4th. The Space Whale and Believe sign are at the City Hall Plaza. There's a sprinkling of other pieces around town. You might check the City of Reno, Artown, and Sierra Arts Foundation websites?
