The Renwick brings the desert to the District in its newest exhibit, “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man.” Washingtonian burner-wannabes are already filling their feeds with the large-scale sculptures inside the gallery and around downtown DC.

Looking for murder.

Spent the day getting what I imagine is a very small taste of what Burning Man is actually like. Maybe we'll go for real someday @annetodd4t… #nospectators
