The Department of Art at Linfield University will host the 14th Annual Built To Burn on Earth Day, Friday, April 22. The public is invited to attend for the first time since 2019.
We will gather under a waning gibbous moon at 7:30 p.m. in the field west of the Miller Fine Arts Center on Keck Drive behind Albertsons. The Burn will commence at dusk, rain or shine, followed by a marshmallow roast.
This collaborative cedar sculpture was built by students in instructor Totem Shriver’s Arts 101 and Sculpture courses. As is tradition, it was “built to burn” in a celebration to complete the cycle of collaboration and creation.
For millennia, humans have used fire as a purifying ritual form. Spring is a time of release and regeneration. Come make of it what you will and experience a one-of-a-kind sense of community.
