Art Approval & Placement

This guide covers the complete process of reviewing, approving, and placing art in the dust system. This is for burn organizers managing art registrations.

tip

Setup questions to require additional information when art is registered. Eg Art dimensions, Burn plan etc. These questions are part of the approval process.

Art Approval​

When art is registered, it goes through an approval workflow:

  • Unapproved - Newly registered art that hasn't been reviewed yet
  • Approved - Art that has been reviewed and is visible in the dust app

Only approved art appears in the dust app for burners to view.

Reviewing Art​

When an artist registers art for your burn:

  1. You receive an email notification about the new registration
  2. Visit edit.dust.events and sign in
  3. Select your burn and click Art
  4. Look for art marked with a warning icon - these are unapproved
  5. Click on an art title to view its full details

Approving or Unapproving​

For Organizers (Admins):

  1. Click Approve to make the art visible in the dust app
  2. Click Unapprove to hide approved art from the app

When you approve art, it will become visible to burners in the dust app once you have published. You can unapprove art at any time if needed (for example, if an installation is cancelled or does not require placement).

tip

Artists can see whether their art is approved or not. They see a checkmark if it will appear in the dust app or a warning indicating the art will not appear in the dust app until approved.

Placement​

Placement refers to the process of assigning physical locations on the map.

Placing on the Map​

Once you have placement information and have made location decisions you can manually place art on the map:

  1. Go to Art and click on an art piece
  2. Click Place to open the map interface
  3. Click on the map to set the art's location
  4. Click Save to confirm the placement

You can also import locations of art from Google Maps.
