In the terraced amphitheater of the Mule Mountains, Bisbee’s art events function as periodic rhythmic discharges, essential pulses that prevent the town from lapsing into a terminal, post-industrial sleep. These are not merely social gatherings; they are coordinated psychological events designed to synchronize the town’s bohemian metabolism with the seasonal flows of tourism.

Tales from the Trash
The Tales From The Trash art show is an annual “one-night-only” celebration of “questionable art” found in thrift stores, yard sales, and dumpsters.

Bisbee B.R.A.T.S.
The Bisbee B.R.A.T.S. (Bisbee Rolling Arts Transport Society) is the town’s high-octane answer to the question: “What happens when you give an artist a set of wheels and a steep hill?”

ReMake Art Show
The Annual ReMake Art Show is Bisbee’s premier celebration of “creative recycling,” proving that in the Mule Mountains, one person’s trash is another’s masterpiece.

Burnerella
Burnerella is a free-spirited, annual arts takeover in Bisbee, Arizona, loosely inspired by the radical self-expression and community-focused principles of Burning Man.
