GERLACH · once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in nevada's black rock desert to create black rock city, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. 


then they depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. burning man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the ten principles.


this is burning man


the impact of the burning man experience has been so profound that a culture has formed around it. this culture pushes the limits of burning man and has led to people banding together nation-wide, and putting on their own events, in attempt to rekindle that magic feeling that only being part of this community can provide.


the black rock arts foundation promotes interactive art by supporting public art that exists outside the event, and has a special interest in supporting art at regional events.


it's kind of a big deal.
