TAKE ME TO YOUR BURN DETAILS
This article from VRFocus explains the event better than I can:
"Called Take Me to Your Burn, the virtual Burning Man event inside Somnium Space will be just like the real thing – without all the desert sand and heat – a collaborative experience with artists, musicians, labels and more, plus of course the iconic Burning Man statue at the centre.
There’s going to be a massive amount of content for attendees to enjoy, both in virtual reality (VR) and via desktop. Over 40 artists will be showcasing installations and various artworks across 30 odd galleries or if you’re not bothered about the art 150+ DJ’s are going to play across 5 stages. Sets will be streamed live and on-demand from within Somnium Space via Twitch and YouTube.
Adding to that musical lineup will be over 30 bands playing live on the main stage with an open mic stage for solo musicians. Plus four special stages and installations will feature more than 20 workshops and lectures covering topics like spirituality, eco-living, health and fitness."

From the Burning Man project website itself:
“Burning Man Project will bring experiences to people in grand, awe-inspiring and joyful ways that lift the human spirit, address social problems, and inspire a sense of culture, community, and civic engagement.”
Take Me to your Burn started as a bold initiative to gather some of the best visual crypto artists in a virtual world named Somnium Space. We wanted to give them an opportunity to show their art to Burners around the world in these crazy COVID times, but the Burning Man spirit took over the project and rapidly expanded to fully immersive and interactive virtual festival on its own. During this amazing journey for last month, a team of 10 dedicated burners joined by more than 300 collaborators around the world are preparing to bring an unforgettable experience for the Burning man week. No only you will be able to dive into this virtual world and have an actual stroll from group to solo expo, enjoy some crazy rides, nifty architecture and 360° art installations.... no, there is a lot more involved in these 9 days of continuously refreshing experience explosions. A gigantic list of live acts from around the world will be streaming to and from our platform.“

I’m super excited to be one of the featured artists in this event! Even though Corona is biting my ass in many ways, it’s also accelerating my cryptoart career.
Cheers! See you at virtual Burning Man!
