The main motive of the Burning Man festival is to express yourself and learn about other people’s artwork. The artists want people to observe, analyze and learn from the artwork that is on display at the Burning Man. It is also wanting people to feel a sense of community while they are there as well as learn about their inner self.
Everyone is invited to the event, so they want the participants to pick out a camp and meet new people who they call neighbors. Then they will feel this sense of community together. They should stay the entire week in order to fully gain the motive of the festival. Otherwise, it would be difficult to feel this sense of community.
