&lt;p&gt;First up in art &amp;amp; money: Burning Man. From its origins as an experimental haven for artists to desert Coachella to a libertarian paradise covered in sh*t. Justin shares how such an event can morph overtime due to something as unartistic as money.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The winner of art this week? The Strike! After months of fighting back against studio greed, the SAG-AFTRA and WGA continue to put it all on the line. As the studios continue to show their true colors, it&amp;#39;s the artists that will win out.&lt;/p&gt;
