Great Bonnaroo. My 7th year was an awesome experience as usual and the weather was amazing, mild compared to last year. That being said, "Bonnaroo Music & ARTS Festival", where was the sonic forest?! Where are my beloved fire flys, awesome smoke ring machines and fire sculptures? I feel like the art portion of the festival has been pushed out by food trucks and water slides this year and the only signs of life can be found at POD stations in the campground. Opinions?

This would be one of my largest issues with this years festival, there was none of that experimental, interactive art that made this festival so incredibly unique before...it was still wonderful, but it was missing something this year, and you nailed it.

I met a really cool artist near What stage by the name of Chuck U. He was doing live paintings through out the weekend. I bought six prints. They are awesome!
The lack of art was one of the biggest let downs of the weekend. What happened to the Art of Such n Such??? Smoke rings, interactive art, and evening burlesque gypsy fire-wielding shows. I have no idea how any one could think those things could be replaced by a water slide.

^^^this. both quotes.
But in the vendor areas there was some great art to be had. And the japanese artists working on the mural in centeroo throughout the weekend were really cool as well.
I think Bonnaroo is cheap and won't spend one dime more than they have too. They really need more art structures build each year. After my 3rd roo, the visual aspect of the grounds has become stale.

I just made a good vs. bad thread and I typed almost the exact thing you said about the art without reading this 1st. We are in agreement.
There were a lot of art related events at The Academy at Planet Roo. I sat in a Dr Sketchy's Anti Art School drawing session. Also painted on some cardboard. The Academy was a great place to meet other artists.
I do agree with you I miss the fireflies and other art installations. I too was looking for the smoke rings in the sky.
Bonnaroo did collaborate with students at The Art Institute of Portland, The New England Institute of Art, and The Art Institute of California—Los Angeles on designing artistic shade structures and other design projects.

This was the only nice piece of art that I saw all weekend at Bonnaroo. It's such a dirty unattractive festival. I had fun, don't get me wrong but they should really do more to make it visually appealing. Graffiti walls really don't make the fest all too nice.
