The Hub
previously known as Centre Camp, or Town Hall
What the deuce even is The Hub?!
It’s a community space for all to congregate, learn things, hang, get weird, wrap your looking-balls around some spectacular new art and co-create epic events together! Host an event at one of our three spaces or come along and enjoy what the community has to offer.
This year we are bringing the noooise to uplevel The Hub into a space fit for burner kings, queens and everything-in-betweens. We’ll be located in the prime pole position in the northwest area of Temple paddock, flanking some banging Theme Camps (you know who you are) to feed off and contribute to a ragingly delicious fireball cluster of burner energy!
Embracing the Trash Renaissance Fair, It’ll be a weird eclectic mess of it all and there’s room for everyone!
What will you find at The Hub?
ARTery
The Hub is home to ARTery, the place for artists to create and showcase their glorious creations.
Maker Space: We’ll have a lush and juicy tent (7mx11m) offering shade from the brutal midday sun, sewing machines, hot glue, other bits and bobs for crafting your very own art… and POWER! This tent can be used as a gallery space or you can host a crafting workshop or display your art.
Want to display some art? Reach out to The Hub and we’ll see if we can sprinkle some fairy dust to help you out. We’d be honoured to adorn our walls, ceiling, floor and airspace with your artwork, especially if it’s interactive and punter-engaging. We can display your art inside the spaces at the hub, on our lawn and if you are a digital artist, our ARTery container and TV wall projects can be used to display your digital creations!
Got something super pretty that needs to receive all the eyeball gushing love? We’re your new KB home! Plus we’ll have some bougie cafe style seating to linger on while people-watching. Because burners are classy AF like that. Register your art here!
Hub Hut
Embrace your inner child and come help us build, or just chill, in our Hub Hut. Hidden inside you’ll find soft spaces, a little library and a special story telling offering. This amorphous space is perfect for mid afternoon relaxing, quiet reading, reduced stim and isolation zones and ringside seats to the stage offerings.
Art Support Services(A.S.S)
Art Support Services is the centre for our artists who are bringing works to the paddock! Artists check in with the team when you are ready to install your art! You will receive a welcome home, a welcome pack and be escorted to your installation site.
We will have a Tool library for borrowing some helpful things (think basic tools for building, spade, trolley, step ladder etc) and we have a small number of lights and extension cables that can be used by artists in need.
Make use of our sign making services, battery charging or our friendly team of helping hands. If you have any queries email artsupport@kiwiburn.com
Lost Probably Pirates
Have you lost your water bottle again? Missing your favourite rainbow unicorn onesie? If you probably lost it, we possibly have it! Come to our pirate ship and find your missing booty, or find one of our potentially lost boxes on each paddock.
Centre Camp
Centre Camp is a large covered community space for all participants to perform or share talks, run workshops, teach and learn skills and interact with the crowd.
We’ll have an elevated stage and seating for up to 40ish participants, plus audiovisual offerings including stage lights, speakers and a microphone. The audience space can be arranged however you like, including a dance area option. OoOooOoohh.
We also have a large uncovered grass area for super fun silly outdoor adventures.
So bring your A-list of A-games to showcase your weirdo offerings, whether it be a gimp mask fashion parade, teaching Mongolian throat singing for chakra realignment, blindfolded armpit-sniffing speed dating, a nude Chariots of Fire reenactment, an expert panel for Q&As on “how to do life wrong”, or whatever else tickles your pickle.
Don’t want to run your own event? We will be hosting a variety show on Wednesday evening! Email us at centrecamp@kiwiburn.com to join as an act
Contact us for the full rundown of gear that we’ll have on offer. You’ll be supported by proficient volunteers including a Gonzo (techie/stage manager per shift) as well as a Fluffer or two (i.e. a helper/runner) to make sure that your event runs silky smooth. Ready to go? Register your event now.
The Depot
The Depot is our community information centre. Buy a bag of ice (cash only); check for lost valuables; feed the piggy; check the Paddock map; find out the latest news; bring us your gossip; sign up for a volunteer shift; check for potential rideshares; recycle your used ice bags and/or nang canisters. Any questions? We might know the answer, or potentially make one up. We are open from 10am-5pm Wednesday-Sunday and 10am-2pm on Monday
