While most music festivals have been cancelled in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, a new entertainment complex will display "the theatrical, interactive artwork synonymous with these events" in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 930sq m open-air gallery, known as Art Island, will tentatively make its debut in September as part of the new entertainment complex and "immersive bazaar" Area15.

The permanent art gallery will feature around 10 festival-style artworks by international artists like Michael Benisty, Davis McCarty and Ivan McLean, some of whom have presented their work during past instalments of Burning Man in Nevada's Black Rock City.
