Burnings
“A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and
passers-by only see a wisp of smoke.”
Why Burnings?
PASSION
To burn inevitably means to act—we believe it is passion that compels action. In this space, we want to celebrate art as action.
​
PURPOSE
We burn because of wonder and because of wounds. Our world of art is a crafted intermingling of beauty and violence, peace and tragedy, and an attempt to walk the complex line between.
PERSONAL
Being burnt leaves scars that are unique to a memory and the flicker of its truth. Our art, ignited, is a flame that is no one else's but our own.
PERDURING
To burn once is but a spark, to burn continually our legacy. Our hope is that the embers of our work will catch onto the hearts of others and kindle a lasting, deepening love for the arts.​

​
Our logo was crafted to amalgamate the meaning behind our name, Burnings.
​
The silhouette of a feather or quill represents the written word. It is passion, poised and sharp, to express the artistic burden within our human experience.
​
The splattered edges testify to unpolished beginnings—the first drop of chemical on film, the drips and flicks of paint, the impression of a craft. It is the potential to leave enduring marks, everywhere.
​
And the B-shaped flame, of course, alludes to the title of Burnings itself.
