Our mission is to facilitate and extend the culture that has issued from the Burning Man event into the larger world.

About us

The nonprofit Burning Man Project provides the essential infrastructure of Black Rock City, and works year round to bring Burning Man culture to the world and the 10 Principles to life. But it does not do this alone. Burning Man has given rise to a global network of communities that produce more than 90 official Burning Man events and create a range of initiatives based on the 10 Principles. Burning Man Project connects and empowers this creative ecosystem of builders, makers, doers, and community leaders through grants, education and training initiatives, and art and civic engagement programs like Burners Without Borders and the Fly Ranch Project.

    A work of art can take you on a journey and give you insight into your own art spirit. The Tomorrow Today art theme has been set, the Honoraria grant process for Black Rock City 2025 is underway, and Temple proposals are being reviewed. When you tally it all up, the nonprofit’s annual cost to facilitate Black Rock City art is approaching $5 million. To fund art and engagement in Black Rock City, we are rolling out a December Community Campaign as an urgent request for your help to raise $3 million by the end of the year. Support Black Rock City art with a recurring donation today: https://lnkd.in/ggwRx6jZ 📸 #1: "Charon" by Peter Hudson, 2017 (Photo by Anthony Peterson) 📸 #2: "Naga and The Captainess" by Cjay Roughgarden, Stephanie Shipman, and Jackie Scott, 2024 (Photo by Mike Whitten) 📸 #3: "Burden of The Beast" by Walker Babington, 2023 (Photo by David Hulot) 📸 #4: "HEARTH" by McKenzie Genin and The Green Bucket Lab, 2024 (Photo by Chayna Girling) 📸 #5: "Farmer the Rigger" by Zulu Heru & Burger Boyz, 2023 (Photo by Dan Adams) 📸 #6: "Mariposita" by Chris Carnabuci, 2019 (Photo by Espressobuzz) #blackrockcity #brc #burningman #10principles #thankslarry #burningmanart

    Spaces guided by the #10Principles and the Burning Man ethos are unique. They challenge us to leave behind familiar ways and rethink our interactions with the world. We spoke with Crazy Otto, who began with a small theme camp and a bar and evolved it into a mini-golf course on the playa. Burning Man sparked his deep involvement with the BRC community and beyond, pulling him from his inner world into a vast external community. His reason to contribute to Burning Man Project started with transformation. Your support is vital, donate here and be a part of our ongoing effort: https://lnkd.in/ggwRx6jZ
