In the summer of 2013, brothers Jim and Don Gibson purchased a classic but dirty piece of Reno history, the 43 room Morris Hotel. In 2008, Jim "Jungle Jim" Gibson joined the Burning Man community and was profoundly moved and changed by the experience. Jim, 2011 Temple of Transition project lead Chris "Kiwi" Hankins, Vision (Alon Bar) and a crew of amazing Burners from around the world have transfo
rmed the hotel into a giant piece of permanent Burner art and it is truly changing the world. It has space for 19 live-in artists, 13 Burner designed hotel rooms, indoor and outdoor performance venues, and is just plain amazing! It is like living the best part of the Playa all year, where we live by the 10 principles every day. We hope you will come visit and see for yourself, and like everyone else, leave saying, OMG, this is simply the best spot ever, it's like being at Burning Man! We are a Membership facility, with membership dues allowing almost all of our events to be free, we can offer free rooms for artists from anywhere in the world in our Artist Residency program, and do community outreach work almost every day.
