May 1 marks the start of the high fire season in California, which CAL FIRE says is beginning earlier and ending later each year, and Santa Barbara area artist Ethan Turpin is raising awareness to this fact with his new multimedia work.
Walk Into Wildfire is a free, family-friendly art installation which takes viewers into an immersive experience created by real footage from inside a wildfire, as well as time-lapse videos of post-fire growth.
The exhibit, designed by Turpin as part of the Burn Cycle Project , is set to premier at the Buellton Recreation Center on April 24 and run through May 1. It will be open daily from 2 to 6 p.m. with a special opening reception on April 24 from 1 to 4 p.m.
