Dear Mosaic Experiment,
Despite the challenge of the current burn ban in effect in southeast Ohio, Mosaic Experiment will not be canceled. We see this as an opportunity for our community to demonstrate its resilience, creativity, and adaptability!
Current Situation:
- A burn ban is currently in effect in Meigs County, Ohio where Mosaic Experiment takes place. https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/com.ohio.gov/SME%20Video%20Interviews/SFM_-_Open_Burning_Order_9-13-2024_UPDATE.pdf
- Mosaic Experiment will not be canceled because of this, but we must comply with all state and local regulations.
- This situation is fluid and subject to change depending on the most current order from the State of Ohio Fire Marshal
- We will post updates as the ban changes. Please prepare for various scenarios
- Please do not contact authorities on our behalf
Current Restrictions apply anywhere on the Mosaic site (this includes tents, theme camps, art installations, but doesn't include RV's and vehicles)
1. No open flames of any kind are permitted. Repeat violators must be ejected from the event or we will risk losing both our insurance and the ability to burn again at Reclaim.
This includes:
- Our effigy
- Campfires (both wood and propane)
- Burn barrels
- Charcoal grills
- Flame effects for exhibition
2. Propane cooking stoves are permitted, with the following conditions:
- Fire extinguishers and ample water must be readily accessible.
- No flammable materials within 5 feet of the stove.
- Proper oversight and safety measures in place.
3. Propane buddy (catalytic, with tip sensor) heaters are permitted
4. Cigarette smoking is permitted, but:
- Do not put out or smolder cigarettes on grass or any flammable surface.
- This applies to matches used to light cigarettes as well.
- Properly dispose of all smoking materials.
Potential Changes, Safety, and Preparation:
- At any time, the ban could become more strict or be lifted.
- Attendees are strongly encouraged to prepare alternatives for cooking and heating in case of stricter regulations.
- Consider options like electric cooking appliances, solar ovens, community kitchens, or sous vide methods.
- Bring: Fire blankets, garden spray tanks, extinguishers, CO detectors, electric appliances.
We encourage our community to rise to this challenge and demonstrate our ability to adapt while prioritizing safety and Civic Responsibility.

AHHHHHHH! We're getting so close to welcoming you all Home! But what will we all be doing when we get there? That's where the What, When, Where comes in!
Submit your individual or theme camp events, activities, dance parties, open bars, knitting circles, talent shows, etc. by September 17th (hint: that's the deadline for submissions) by visiting https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/www.
That way you can ensure the community knows where to be and when to whatever it is you're doing when the WWW gets published on our site on September 24th. And you can print it off and bring it with you to plan ahead? Cool, yea? So go now and get your stuff submitted and make this year an unforgettable Experiment!
Hey there folks, we are just over a month away from Mosaic Experiment 2024: Lost & Found and just want to remind you of some important deadlines and details before we all head Home to the glory that is the Razorgrass!
First: If you haven't already done so... BUY YOUR TICKETS. No ticket, no entry. Doesn't matter if you pick up a volunteer shift or if you're someone's former roommate's brother's second-cousin twice removed. You must have a ticket to attend. Get them HERE
Sales end September 24th.
Detail the 2nd: If you are planning on Volunteering for a shift before the start of the event (or one at or before gate opens the day of), you need to get signup for that shift by September 3rd. Click here now if this applies to you.
Detail Number 3: That being said, if you have one of those shifts or are part of the effigy team or a large camp that may need extra time to set up, you need to make sure you have submitted your Early Entry Request Forms by September 10th. Registrations for everything from firepits, car/rv camping, theme camps, large art instalations, you name it, are also due by September 10th. Luckily, both of those forms can be found right here.
The 4th Detail: Submissions for the What, When, Where close on September 17th, so if you want your special event listed in the WWW when it's published pre-event, you need to fill out that form here before the deadline: CLICK ME!
Online Volunteer Signups also close on September 17th. You can always sign up for a shift at the event by visiting the hubub but doing so makes all of our lives so much easier and we can all relax a little more when we're there. Please go sign up for a shift and raise the Volunteer Frogometer to maximum hops, we have a lot of shifts to fill and we're running out of time and freaking out about it. PLEASE CLICK AND SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER
Lastly, we are in need of your donations to the Need-Based Tickets Fund. We are currently $1800 short of funding all of the requests we received and the deadline to donate is September 17th. That means if we can all pool together and raise $600 per week from now until then, we can make sure that everyone gets to go this year. Let's get some Communal Effort going on this, yea?
Donate directly via PayPal to NBT@mosaicexperiment.com
What makes a Burn successful? You do! Our event is 100% volunteer run and you in the community are the reason Mosaic Experiment shines brighter every year with your incredible Participation and Communal Effort. To keep up this great work, why not head over to the Volunteer Sign-ups page HERE to get your shifts scheduled early this year? It's one less thing you'll have to worry about later. ONE BURNER, ONE SHIFT!
Also, a reminder that the What, When, Where is now open for you to submit your theme camp or solo events to the community calendar so people know when to head over to your neck of the woods during the Experiment. You can find that HERE
Another reminder, Registrations for your theme camps, art installations, car and RV camping, fire pits, and early entry are all accepting your applications HERE. Go register now! Please, before you forget about it and have to take your entire theme camp to the far end of the Back-40 because Placement didn't know you needed a spot.
Last but not least, if you find yourself with a few bucks to spare this week, why not pay it forward to the community by donating to our Need-Based Tickets Program to keep Mosaic Experiment Radically Inclusive. Donate via our PayPal at NBT@mosaicexperiment.com. More info on the program can be found HERE
