For those artistic evilutionists out there, Burning Man, the yearly festival celebrating freedom, expression, and self-reliance, is sponsoring art based on this year's theme of Evolution. The details for getting a grant to support your artwork are here.
So, come up with some ideas for interactive, creative expressions of what evolution means, where humans have come from or where are we going, and submit them for entry into the festival!

Pal is, of course, welcome to post here anytime.
It appears the deadline for grants has passed. There should be some interesting art though.
Oh that's too bad. The theme is still rocking and of course, you can always bring your idea of evolution to the Playa.
I think I'd like to be the intelligently-designed man.
This seems like a very interesting event. The theme of Evolution should invite a wide variety of artists seeking a way to express there vision on the issue.
