Transformus

Transformus is a regional Burning Man art festival in Stokes County, North Carolina, held on the third weekend of July and previously hosted on Marvin's Mountaintop in Masontown, West Virginia.

Founded by seven individuals (Debra, Wordplay, Chw, Rhythm, Uncle Jonah, Diesel and Theory), Transformus now has an LLC board of directors, event planning committee and team leads – all volunteers – who collaboratively drive the event through minimal policy and responsible safety teams.

Artistic expression is a very important part of Transformus and many participants create interactive art installations specifically for the event.

These theme camps frequently offer services to the community such as food, drink, music, interactive art, and other novel or surprising experiences.

In 2009 Transformus was invited by Burning Man to reapply for official event status but initially chose to remain independent.
