Planning on bringing something special to Mosaic? THANK YOU!
Theme camps, large art installations and RVs, trailer and car campers must register to guarantee placement at our event. Follow the link below to get signed up. Register all the things!
One form to register them all…
One form streamlines them.
One form to manage them all…
So the community can find them.
That’s right folks, we’ve got one sleek registration form for your art installations, theme camps, rv/trailer/car camping, fire conclave. We’ve made it easy this year, so click the link above and get started!
All registrations close on September 9th, 2025!
ART INSTALLATION REGISTRATIONS
What is art? You decide! Everyone is encouraged to create art at Mosaic, from pocket-sized paintings to large sculptural pieces, and performance art to interactive games. Art is a wonderful way to deepen your participation with the community.
Please consider the safety of fellow participants when designing your art. Signs can help people know how to interact with your art installation – for example, can they climb on it? Is it okay to write or paint on it? Be clear about your intentions and the community will follow.
Registering all art is not required, but if you are bringing a large art piece, have questions about placement, and want a registered spot on the placement map, you must register your art installation by clicking the link at the top of the page.
Questions on art installation placement? Contact Placement Lead at placement@mosaicexperiment.com.
THEME CAMP REGISTRATIONS
Theme camps are the interactive core of Burning Man events. An ideal theme camp should create an artistically stimulating presence and provide a communal space or other opportunity for interaction. Theme camps are meant to welcome the greater community into a communal space. Good signage, a welcoming host and interaction is highly recommended! Let our community know how to participate with your camp. If you build it, they will come!
Please consider the safety of fellow participants when designing your theme camp. Signs can help people know how to interact with your camp – for example, are you only open for certain hours? Do you have certain boundaries for personal camping space? How do you want people to experience your theme camp? Be clear about your intentions and the community will follow.
Registered Theme Camps will have a space reserved based on needs and requests. Fill out the Theme Camp Registration Form by clicking the link at the top of the page.
Questions? Email our Placement Department at placement@mosaicexperiment.com.
RV / TRAILER / CAR CAMPING REGISTRATION FORMS
Are you planning on camping in an RV, camper/trailer, or car? If your camping needs require that your vehicle be at your campsite, or you bring an RV or camper/trailer, you must register in order to obtain a parking pass. Registered vehicles will not be on the placement map, but will be taken into space consideration by Placement for theme camps. Please note: there are NO hookups available on site (no electrical, no water, etc) at Reclaim. This is primitive camping.
Registered vehicle campers are HIGHLY encouraged to decorate/disguise your vehicle to add to the artistry of the event. Fill out the RV/Trailer/Car Camping Registration form by clicking the link at the top of the page.
Your direct contacts for RV/Trailer/Car Camping are the TACO (Transit Authority and Car Oversight)/Parking Co-leads: parking@mosaicexperiment.com.
FIRE AND CONCLAVE REGISTRATIONS
All firepits, burn barrels, fire of ANY KIND, must be registered prior to the event.
Planning to spin fire at Mosaic Experiment? All fire spinners must check in at one of the daily safety meetings/prop checks. You must bring all of your props to this meeting. Fire spinners who have attended this meeting will have a wristband. You must have this wristband to spin fire. We encourage you to fill out the registration form before the event. This will help our Conclave Leads gauge the number of spinners to expect for daily safety meetings and help planning for the conclave prior to the effigy burn. Registration form can be found by clicking the link at the top of the page.
Questions? Contact your Conclave Lead here: conclave@mosaicexperiment.com or your Fire Safety Team Lead here: fire@mosaicexperiment.com
EARLY ENTRY REGISTRATIONS
Are you part of a theme camp with a ton of infrastructure that takes forever to set up? Volunteering for shifts to help out DPW and some of our other departments? Bringing the effigy this year? You may qualify for early entry to be on site a day in advance! Registration form can be found by clicking the link below or at the top of the page.
Where is the form to apply for Early Entry?
We’re excited to share that the Early Entry process is going to be much simpler this year!
Similar to past years, there are typically two types of circumstances in which we can give a participant permission to arrive the day before the event starts:
They sign up for a volunteer shift that begins at or before noon on Thursday
They are bringing a complex art installation or camp setup that requires extra setup time and/or has to be moved into place before Reclaim begins to get crowded.
If you are in the first category (and this includes department leads), you won’t need to do anything extra. You will automatically be given Early Entry privileges in Volunteeripate. Hurray!
If you think the second category applies to you, please click “Yes” on this question when you fill out your registration form:
Early Entry FAQs
Q: I am a lead or have a volunteer shift that will grant me early entry, but my partner/friend/spouse/sibling/etc. is riding up with me. Can my +1 get early entry too?
A: TACO thanks you for consolidating your party into fewer vehicles, we do appreciate when people carpool because it helps make parking easier! The most expedient way to address your situation would be for your passenger to also sign up for an early-entry designated volunteer shift as well. We have a wide variety of things that need to get done to get the event off the ground, so hopefully they will find an open slot that looks like a good fit for them. However, if that’s not possible, please reach out to Gate (gate -at- mosaicexperiment -dot- com).
Q: I don’t fit either of those two categories, but I still have a particular situation where I really think it would make sense for me to arrive early! What can I do?
A: Send an email to Gate! We may be able to find a solution. The earlier you reach out to us, though, the better the chances you will have of us being able to work something out.
Finished? Congratulations! Now, get to work on your projects for Mosaic Experiment. Our village awaits your arrival!
