Tutu making in Old Sacramento
On Tuesday 2/22/22, Sacramento Valley Spark and Atrium 916 teamed up to bring “Tutu Tuesday” to historic Old Sacramento.
Tutu Tuesday is a Burning Man tradition that encourages all attendees to get into the spirit of “Participation,” “Immediacy” and “Radical Self-Expression.” All genders are encouraged to wear a Tutu on Tutu Tuesday.
Communities around the world celebrated the palindrome date 2/22/2022.
“Putting on a Tutu puts people in a playful mindset,” said Ed Fletcher, president of Sacramento Valley Spark. “We want to cultivate more creative playfulness in our communities.”
Making a tutu is fun and easy. Pick your favorite colors and express yourself. Our no-sew tutus are hand-tied in minutes.
“It was great watching children pick their colors and making it (mostly) themselves,” said Shira Lane, founder of Atrium 916.
Sacramento Valley Spark, inspired by the Ten Principles of Burning Man, unites the local community through art and positive change. Founded in 2012, Sacramento Valley Spark grew out of a successful community effort to create an event where local art is showcased and attendees have the freedom to express themselves in the way they see fit.
