Lifting The Lid On Our Porto Game

We aren’t full of sh*t, and your portos won’t be either. We’re currently putting together an info dump regarding the ticketing process which goes live Sunday, but while we’re still digesting, here’s an update on this year’s porto situation.

We are stepping up our porto and sanitation game for Mosaic 2021 with extra hand wash stations and handicap accessibility increasing this year. We’re also ramping up the rate at which the portos are cleaned and getting more aggressive with those sanitizer refills so you have a moderately fresher burn experience!

More resources, easier positioning for access and just like that this one aspect of your burn experience just got a bit better.

Effigy and Temple Submissions Open

Do you know how much we appreciate artists in our burn community? You should because each and every one of you are or can be an artist at Mosaic Experiment! Want to build something insanely outrageous? Beautiful? Interactive? Weird, odd, and charming? We want to hear your concepts for our 2021 Effigy and Temple!

This year we have allotted $1000 each, 1k for effigy and 1k for temple, to support your projects. What is the most important thing to know? We are on a TIGHT TIMELINE so we are opening the gates for proposals today and closing them on July 23rd anticipating announcing our selections by July 28th. Due to the shortened timeline, we will not be reaching out to artists to ask clarifying questions about their art. We will gladly answer any questions you have BEFORE the deadline, but please ensure your plans are complete upon submission. Incomplete submissions will be grounds for disqualification.

Before you start your preparations, visit mosaicexperiment.com/artgrants paying particular attention to the resources on that page (especially the prohibited burn materials). We invite you to dig deep, find that idea you know is there and bring it to life!

It all starts by filling out your application here.

A Date Change For Mosaic Experiment

If everyone would please get out their schedules, we need to make a change! Don't worry, we brought enough whiteout for everyone.

We will return to announce those new dates by the end of this month (or sooner if Burning Man makes a final decision regarding this year).
